#12Very fun, but a bit stressful.
Making games take a determined number of turns would allow players to rest.
Also, displaying the score right along the windows would be nice.
Other than that, great work!

#13There is a bug somewhere where it doesn't register for clicks after a few rounds. Chrome 52, OS X.
Same on Windows. Some clicks get unregistered. I had to click multiple times.

#14I wish it worked on mobile! I'll check it out on my desktop though. Edit: just played it. Awesome. A few suggestions: - show me my total score! Unless I'm on the leaderboard, I don't know what it is - it's unclear whether the "you are #x of Y players" is referring to my standing on just that turn, or the last 20, or what - more cities, as others have said. Or at least shuffle it better so it's not as obvious when I'v…
It took me a while to realize, but "you are #x of Y players" refers to the closest people to that specific city.
I was pretty pleased to get a few #1s. It countered my several "too far!"s.

#15Really fun game! Reminds me of https://geoguessr.com which drops you in a random location (in Street View mode) and your task is to pinpoint the location on a map.

I couldn't even get #1 in my current city or a few others I've lived in! You hacker news users are so precise. :)

#17Great game and to make it even better find a graphic designer/designer friend to make this pop even more!

#18This is a lot of fun but I'd also recommend allowing zoom for greater precision then resetting after each question. Pretty simple JS commands for Leaflet to handle and would make a HUGE difference - not sure how folks are getting so precise on such a small map :)

#19You're going to make mad money. (Or someone else who steals your idea and makes it work on mobile.) Awesome game and idea!
There is already apps working on the same principle. iirc I played a game like this 1 or 2 years ago, but it was a turn based game.
Very fun to play.
Also, this game is very nice to learn web socket, the code and flow is easy to understand.

#20The 'averaged' location of all answers for the current question would be quite interesting to see.
