Fair point. I’ll rethink the loading
I need to improve the performance but I disagree it looks like every other claude game. I spent a long time iterating on the artwork style to get it to the point where it's at now. I haven't seen a game that looks as good as mine
Thanks for the feedback, I'll work on this

The thing is most people don't care about having a choice, they just want it to work. In fact having choice taken away from them is a good thing.
Probably 99% of Apple / Windows users aren't very tech literate so if they have to fight an update they'll just think it's broken.
It's just basic business practice, cater to the 99%, don't worry about the 1%
This is brilliant. Some improvements I'd suggest
- Let me use the arrow keys to walk around the plane, having to keep double clicking on the floor to move is quite annoying
- Would be good if there was business class seat
- Add video to the inflight entertainment, you could probably just embed youtube
- Optimise it. Run okay on my M5 mac air but not that smooth
I actually disagree, I think this will be a massive hit.
I've long thought that the aspect ratio of a normal phone just feels old fashioned now and sucks for most tasks. So many times I go to do something on my phone and reach for my laptop instead because I know it'll be easier. But with this I could do most things on it.
I am seriously tempted to get this phone (or the next iteration) when the time comes to upgrade from my iPhone 13. I think the aspect ratio would be perfect for coding on the go which is always a bit painful on a standard phone. Although there's just some inherently uncool about a folding phone, like I'd think twice about getting it out of my pocket at a party

This is interesting. I think AI music will be massive in a few years.
It makes sense to listen to music made just for you by a model that knows you. You're bound to feel more emotion from that than trying to relate to something that wasn't written about you

Sorry about that. Should be fixed now
I think an easy mode is a good idea, I will explore that. I'm glad you like the surprises, I do think they add another layer to the game and makes it more stategic.
I think that's correct. Gare du Nord only serves stations north of it. You want to go to one of the stations in the south
The reason you have to work is because the game is based on a BBC show called "Race across the world" where you have to race from point A to point B with the money equivalent of an air fare for the journey.
If you run out of money in the show or your funds are running low you can work to earn more money. So that's why I added that feature. I do think it adds a extra layer to the game as it's something you always have to think about
Hmm, that's not good. Where was the ferry from and to?
Yeah I didn't implement that as in the show they don't let you look anything up but quite a few people have mentioned it would be useful. I think I will add
- A minimap to all the timetables that show visibly where the transport goes
- A tourist information center in town and city centers you can use to find out other information
Hello I'm Chris the creator!
For the past year I've been working on Geo Racers, a free to play web game where you have to race from one side of the world to another just using public transport. It's inspired by the BBC show "Race across the world".
It's early stages but any feedback on the game it's greatly recieved.
You can just enter any name to play as a guest
