Cool clean game! I'm not a geography guru so I didn't get very far but if you are interested here were my first impressions in video form :-)

Nice job! THere is clearly a ton of work put into this game. Very cerebral. I can't really see how it fits the limitation, tho. But I enjoyed it nonetheless!

Thanks a lot for playing and for leaving a comment, I really appreciate it!

About the limitation: “Deep” refers to requiring deep knowledge of geography and geopolitics to progress in the game. “Only one life” is a special mode where your entire progress resets if you make a mistake.

Well, this game gave me a reason to brush up on my geographical knowledge! While it is fun, is feels a bit out of place in relation to the theme and also in relation to the limitation.

At first glance you’re right, but the rules themselves say: “This said, how you choose to interpret its meaning and go about incorporating it is entirely up to you.” I interpreted it in my own way and built the game around that approach.

In any case, thank you for playing and for leaving feedback.

I get what you mean, I just meant that your interpretation feels a bit shallow, not that you haven't included the limitation in your own way. Sorry if I didn't make that clear in my original post.

It’s not that your geography is bad — I balanced the game based on feedback from friends who’ve spent years playing grand strategy games like Sid Meier’s Civilization VI, Hearts of Iron IV, Victoria 3 and Europa Universalis IV.

So it ended up pretty challenging, especially in Asia, the Middle East, and Africa.

Really glad to hear that, especially about the UI — it’s honestly the hardest part of gamedev for me. Thanks a lot for your feedback!

Thanks for the feedback! I’m a big fan of GeoGuessr too.

I've played games like this before, but this one has a really nice presentation!

The only negative is that the limitation feels a bit like an afterthought. I definitely understand it but it doesn't make the game more interesting, it mainly adds frustration in the way of having to wait. 
Definitely a good call to allow to disable it though, because that made me continue to play it quite a bit

And of course all hell breaks loose when you recognize your country, good job!

I agree that this limitation feels somewhat secondary and doesn’t fundamentally change the gameplay.

I envy that you’re from Belgium — I’ve thought more than once about visiting. The climate feels similar to mine, the location is almost ideal, and the country has a very interesting history.

Thank you for playing my game and for your feedback.
