Use of the limitation
My game features a mode called 'Only one life', where a single mistake resets all your progress.

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.
Love this, even as a geography fan it was challenging and educational
Thanks for playing, really glad you enjoyed it!
This made me feel dumb, great job!
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.
Cool concept! The UI is pretty clean too, well done!
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!
A kind of game that I love, remembered me GeoGuesser
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.
I had a fun time playing! Would be fun a phone game honestly.
Thanks for playing! I actually ported the game to Android yesterday — you can download the .apk for free on the itch.io game page.
It was fun! Cool idea
Thanks! Glad you liked the concept.
