The Counting Game is a screamer game created and uploaded on Newgrounds in 2006, by user koit, a Flash comedian known for his works throughout 2004-2006.

The game presents itself as a simple task of counting the number of instances of a particular word or letter in a passage of text. The player is given a 60-second timer to submit their answer into a text box. However, the text box is fake and cannot be typed into. When the timer reaches 45 seconds, a screaming and glaring zombie from the horror movie Evil Dead suddenly flashes onto the screen with a loud, echoing, high-pitched scream. The same scream used in Tic-Tac-Toe. After the screamer, the game advertises koit's website and offers a replay button.

 '''The Counting Game''' is a [[screamer]] game created and uploaded on [[Newgrounds]] in 2006, by user koit, a Flash comedian known for his works throughout 2004-2006.
-The [[screamer]] disguises itself as a simple game, in which the objective is to count how many instances of a word/letter there are within a passage of text. The player must answer into a text box before the 60-second timer runs out. However, the textbox is fake and cannot be typed into. Once the timer decreases to 45 seconds, a screaming, glaring zombie (same used in [[Tic-Tac-Toe]]) suddenly flashes onto the screen with a loud, echoing, high-pitched scream. After this, it advertises kit's website and offers a replay button.
