Show HN: Geo Racers – Race from London to Tokyo on a single bus pass (geo-racers.com)
pattle 52 minutes ago [-]
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.

I had a lot of fun :) . Cleaning up the leader board would be appreciated though. Seeing adolf hilter everywhere is ... something.

There also seem to be a bug where the game doesn't always spawn you where it should. Selected Galeway to Roma and was put in scotland with only euros and no banks around. Probably how some people manage to get was seems to be impossible score

The game has increased my appreciation of the airplane as a mode of transport, unfortunately

I highlighted a train station, clicked "walk here," and nothing happened. I sped up time and I did not move.

I gave up.

Also, an introduction explaining what the game is would be good rather than just asking for a player name and dropping the user into the game.

When I select a destination at a bus stop or train station the listings only show the specifics but not the city itself. This kind of defeats the whole purpose as its essentially randomly clicking around

I love the idea, but the whole interface is very twitchy for me. Tried Safari & Firefox on my MacBook Air M1.

Really conveys the stress and horror of traveling by public transit.

It's like JetLag the Game, but without ever leaving your house!

Huge login form for a landing page without as much of a video of what's going on is a shot in the foot

There's a 'continue as guest' option at the bottom of that form. But yeah that was also my immediate impression.

You can just enter any name to play as a guest

The login screen overflows my screen, and it won't pinch zoom smaller.
