ReviewGuesser 🎮

A browser extension that turns Steam browsing into a guessing game! Challenge yourself to guess how many reviews a game has before seeing the actual count.

Inspiration

This extension was directly inspired by this YouTube video by Jonas Tyroller:

2. The ReviewGuesser interface will appear, hiding the actual review count
3. Make your guess by clicking one of the range buttons
4. See your results and earn points based on accuracy
5. Click "Next Random Game" to continue playing
