I love geography, and Geoguessr used to be my go-to geography game. But recently they changed their pricing model which caused me to stop playing 😕 BUT this just so happened to scratch that itch! Awesome idea and execution, its even hard for a geo nerd like me :D
Nice game, but could you add some different difficulties. For example a arrow that shows here to g, a dot on map for the right place or also tell the continent.
It is an amazing game which gives you a cozy indie game feel and at the same time teaches you about the world map. I had such a fun experience with this game.
I love this game, but I have found a few bugs: 1) The map moves way faster than your mouse when zoomed in
2) Some of the balloons dont show up -> I then found out I had two quests going but one didnt show up because I flew through a ballon while on a quest
3) The plane sounds are active while in the pause menu even tho the plane is still (dunno if bug just kinda strange)
Please continue working on this game, it's so much fun to try and guess where you are and what angle is perfect for the geodesic to your destination. Also seeing all the mountainranges is very good for understanding the geological madness that is the earth :)
I figured it out. The goal is to hit closer to the target (ofcourse). Doesn't have to do with either it's good or perfect. Closer means more points. So I focused in precise delivery -with an average mistake of just 19 km!! - and the result was 22,816 score.
Here's the video:
Also I have a couple of mistakes to mention.
1) I figured out that "Good" delivery gives more points than "Rerfect" delivery. For example, I've got 7629 pts with 13 perfect & 25 Good deliveries and 6350 pts with 23 perfect & 13 Good ones. I think that at least the same pts should be given for perfect and not less.
2) The corect name of the country you mention as "Macedonia" is "North Macedonia". There's been a dispute for many years between Greece and the Former Yugoslav Republic Of Macedonia (FYROM) and the two countries have come to an agreement in 2019 about that name. Prespa Agreement
Otherwise congrats on a very good idea, gives a true prespective of the globe, contrary to the maps we are used to. PS: I love the shortcuts through the poles :)
Beautiful game! Thank you! Being so bad at geography, a keyboard shortcut to display a directional pointer of where the nearest package drop location (and to simultaneously show the red drop point) would be amazing. My kids would love that also! Until we become super geographers, thanks to this game :D
I just realised pressing M shows a Map, which is a big help. Still think a "n00b" difficulty would be great, to help give a general idea where certain drop-points are :)
That's a very nice game. I'm a retired Mozambican Merchant Marine Captain and all of this is very interesting for me. I have some suggestions to make;
a) The possibility to chose from two Levels/Modes. Beginner and Expert, were the Expertmode is pretty much as it is now with no geographic / navigational aids, and the Beginner Mode, equipped with Nav. Aids such as the name of the county, ocean, sea, lake, river and other well known land mark's like Mountains (e.g. Everest, Kilimanjaro...), Vulcans etc.. highlighted when the plane is flying through the respective aerial space as well as a Live World Map (Planisphere) North oriented with plane position on real time.
b) One control to open while is pressed a window with a very high birds eye view from the globe beneath the plane just to give a clue were on the globe the plane is.
Looking forward to help perfecting this very didactic game,

First time playing this after seeing the development vids, super excited
Two features that would be great:
1. display all country names on the ground to help learn the globe faster
2. toggle always day

there's a similar game called worldguesser thats completely free if you wanna try it out (it is by all means a knock off tho)
