Graduation Work: Count On Me

Count On Me

"Count On Me" is an interactive data collector that rewards your attention span and responsiveness in crypto-currency. In order to maximize profits, you will need to accurately position yourself in the space and pay attention to the instructions. Each micro-task performed allows the visitor to get extra payouts and unlock different stages ranging from stock ticker interfaces, wellness applications, gambling games, captchas, streaming platforms, self-checkouts, eg. Once ready to leave, the visitor can convert its crypto-earnings into euros by refering to a randomly assigned conversion rate.
