I built it as a way to practice programming. There are probably much better alternatives out there.

It works flawlessly for me on a really old version of foss browser for android. Very impressive compatibility. Most browser games posted here on hn do not work on it, and many websites fail as well.

Pretty cool! And also really difficult as it turns out. Love that you can try it without signing up! Runs quite smooth and I like the simplicity of the UI. Maybe a button to return to the starting position is missing?

Thanks! Good idea to add the return button.

And yeea, planning to support multiplayer, have country cards so you can select e.g., US cities, Europe etc, and and move controls (move, no move, no move or zoom), and better leaderboards, so you can see the score per country card and per mode + the time per guess.
