Pretty good game, I feel like i learned quite a bit but getting through level 7 to 10 was based on luck. Strikes also always seemed a bit random even when you knew the exact location.

lol guys who cant pin your own hometown.. mine is Honolulu, well not honolulu but any other city on that island is no more than 10km away and i cant get it. i get random ones tho like liverpool and some african and middle eastern ones.

I agree with Wolfimoon that this game desperately needs a zoom feature. Some of the time its stupidly hard to click the right area because 20km is like a few millimetres on the screen.
Also it seems like 1/4 of all the places are in the USA and Canada ... maybe add in a few more from eastern Europe and the far east since they rarely come up ... I haven't gotten a Russian city that isn't in western Russia for example.
I gave this a 4/5 though since it is actually quite fun when your not being punished for not getting the cursor perfectly on a place even when you know where it is.

Nice idea, but horribly done. The map is too small and way to inaccurate. Also, what's the point of having like 4 or more cities from small countries like South Corea? If you know where SC is, you just somewhere in it, and always be <200 km near. As was already mentioned, the reward system should take into account if you atleast hit the right country, not just the distance.

First off, it needs an easy zoom system if it's going to be this picky. Of course, second - the "20 km" thing is pretty ridiculous. I can't pinpoint my own city that close because 20 km out is STILL the city! I don't really like the scoring system either. It seems to me that being in the right country should be a factor, not just distance from the city. We usually identify based on country, then geological features, and some cities have neither. Other than that, it's addicting and I'm learning some, so a 3/5. Btw, I've gotten to lvl 8 so far.

The difficulty level of this game is very high. I can't quite discern if that is due to my ignorance or the game design. Problem is, I don't seem to be getting smarter as I play...3/5

Nanning, China is in the wrong place, unless you got mixed up with Nanjing? And Hobart, Tasmania - the country is Australia. Tasmania is just a state.

This is a great game if you want to practice your geography. I know that the geography exam for collegiate level International Studies is intense, so this would be a fun way to prepare for it.

I got my first strike, on Boston, MA for some reason. I guess Cape Cod is just a rather distinct feature. I then went on to lose on the final level because I got 2 Russian and 2 Chinese cities out in the middle of nowhere. Hard to guess on those countries!
