Great fun all the same!

I really like it - a couple of opinions though - the time could be extended just a bit, maybe its my pre-coffee state but I sometimes needed a couple more seconds just to think about the name. Also consider changing the scoring to be relative - getting on the right continent would be worth something - for some of these you could guess close enough that if you went and looked at a map for that guess you would be close enough to find the city - but it was still technically too far to count. Agree with someone else that your total score should be shown somewhere.

Perhaps add a rate of scoring? Total score / no. of attempts.

And, if possible, a magnifying glass to the cursor.

Thanks for the game, really enjoyed it!

Fun. Quite tricky when it comes to remembering where each of the Guineas (Equatorial Guinea, Guinea-Bissau, Papua New Guinea) is.

One issue: the cursor seemed to be inaccurate for me most of the time, even when I knew exactly where the location was. For me, the click registered at the top of the crosshairs (instead of the middle). Further, I might change the cursor to be a map pin, and use the pin's point as the accepted answer.

I enjoy playing this game. But the map is cropped and New Zealand does not appear, so it was impossible for me to pin Wellington.
