It's really cool. Strong inscryption vibes, simple but creative and smart gameplay. The game is really addictive thanks to finding solutions in case of crazy geometric paths (the cardiogram thing is cool). Great job! Would love to play a full game like this :)

Developer

It's great to hear it! Thanks!

I really like the inscryption vibes I'm getting from this

Glad you like it! Thanks

Interesting take on the jam! We have only a few tools, but it's all we need to fulfill the fantsay that your game proposes. Good job!

Developer

Yeah! Thank you for playing! We hope to make more levels and make the game more immersive, keep in touch!

Loved the style overall! I would never be able to think in making a game like this with this theme. 

The gameplay is simple, but absolutely polished, and the concept is good. It's a good game. Good Job! 

Developer

Thank you! Keep in touch with us, we hope to make this project greater in the future!

The game is smart and interesting. I liked the art style as well :)

Developer

Thanks!

I love the style of the game, the map is so pretty to look at and interact with, and the view of the table is so immersive! Sound effects are so satisfying too! Kind of hard to win, I would've loved to have some more positive results when I'm at least +-2km close to the exact result, but I guess the game is to guess it exactly, so yeah, I failed a lot but was happy to play again and again :)

Developer

Glad to hear it!
Yeah, the point of estimating it as accurately as possible -is also the main aim of gameplay, glad you liked it anyway!

Top quality game, really enjoyed your interpretation of the theme.

Atmospheric, minimalistic but quite striking with some fantastic writing. Really put me in the mind of Inscryption

Great stuff!

Developer

Thank you!

One of the games that was difficult for me to understand, but there is no doubt about the quality of this game, wonderful. Great job.

Developer

Thank you very much!

Interesting concept and I like that you can manually calculate and estimate on the map itself. I'm not sure if it's just my browser, but I ran into a bug where the dialogue text is flickering on top.

Otherwise,  I like the atmosphere and music as well! Definitely adds to the tone of the game.

Developer

Thank you for the comment, and bug report! Sometimes refreshing the page helps
Glad you like our game!!

Great music and atmosphere. Even though I like the mechanic idea, the tools available leave me feeling unable to solve the problem. Maybe I just don’t know how to use cartography tools to measure distance correctly, but I doubt I’m the only one. I would love to avoid guesswork and be able to measure precisely, maybe learn from this game how to use the tools, instead of being required to know that already. Level 3 reference scale was confusing – are two line segments each 10km, both, or their base? Curved reference lines are similarly confusing.

Developer(+1)

Thank you for your feedback! You can watch our video of gameplay, maybe it will give better understandig of how you can use the tools. :)
But , anyway,  you can try measuring the ratio of scale to road - by eye, many people manage to roughly guess the length this way!

Very creative! I'm impressed how well the compass works. Very nice art and music, and the storyline. I couldn't really figure out how to measure correctly, but I think it's just a lack of measuring talent! 

Overall, very cool game! Love that the bears are our companions

Thank you very much!

Hungry roads, take me home! Really liked this kind of puzzle

Developer

Yaaaay! You really get our name thing! Thanks

Very impressive game - loved the visuals and all the sound effects! I think I learned I'm really bad at measuring on a map T.T

Developer

Ooooooh! Thank you, and we hope, that our game will help you develop your skills in measuring maps  :з

Very interesting take on the theme! Was fun to calculate all the lengths, especially the more mathy ones, when you like the one with an quarter-circle and a circle for a measure, made me just stop and take out my calculator to get it right. The game itself feels very polished, too. A very good submission!

Developer

Thats amazing to hear! We really glad you get that with mathemathiccal side!

Well done!

The atmosphere is great, and using simple tools and geometry was delightful. 

Developer

Thank you!

Nice art and the mood is great! Its preety hard to guess exacly but I did it once, not realy sure how the pencil would help but the compass is usefull

Developer

Thanks! Regarding pencil - you can measure segments with your eye and make any marks directly on the map with pencil, or just draw on map :)

A lot of fun, a very creative take on the concept.
Well done!
