looks drawish
1. Kx Ke4 2. Kf2 Kd3 3. Rx
Instead of 3. Rxc2, why not Ke1?
ahah, i know this one (was made by Reti iirc), it's pretty amazing. hope you continue to post these~
spoiler: white can force a way to capture one of the last two pawns with check.

It does. But looking closer, you notice that it would be a draw if white had the move, and the e-pawn is useless.
But 1. Kxg2 Ke4 2. Kf2 e1=Q+ 3. Kxe1 Kd3 is zugzwang and (dead) draw.
