#52Nice job! It would be helpful when using public transportation to see the names of places overlaid on the map.

#53Hello 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.
Really like the game so far. Here's what I noticed and what I'd like to see after my first play though: 1. There should be an 'easy mode' where your money goes into the red, but you're still allowed to spend whatever to get to the end. It would be nice to see I'm $-14,952 in the hole, but I made it (with the ultimate objective to get to the destination while in the black). 2. The bottom overlays overlap. I was taking…
I think the "limited budget" mechanic should be scrapped - instead make the budget unlimited but rank the submissions based on the lowest budget.

#54A few feedback bits:
* At Dublin ferry port, only port 5 was clickable. * Card payments should be an option. Nobody would use cash like this. * Banks aren't open at 10PM. In fact, banks are hardly open at all. * You can change money at a Post Office or supermarket.

No hotel accepts cash nowadays, there is absolutely no need to exchange currency basically ever. I would remove that part of the game.

Well, my run-through had no banks in the UK that I could find, so that was tough.

It's realistic then ;)

#58This was great fun. The race to Rome says it's to the colosseum, but it's actually pointing to a roundabout near Termini station :)
How on earth are people managing in 5 hours though? I had £95 left after a bus, ferry, train, and bus, taking me to 2.5 days; the ferry alone took nearly a day.

#59Love this!
Got stuck at Gare du Nord in Paris though. Despite being Europe’s busiest train station, no tickets going towards the South, only North. Seems suspicious!
What’s the ticket logic? Is it founded on reality? Or just totally faked?

Hi, yes the Gare du Nord (ie North Train Station) mainly has trains going to the north. For the south, you'd have to go to the Gare de Lyon, Lyon being a city in southern France :)
