This is real fun -- and a cool challenge idea :D I like games where you need good strategy to win.

:O this is so cool! how do you load the wikipedia iframe?

Cool idea of looping through hyperlinks. Nice art style. I don't expect I need to get exact number of steps or cannot form smaller loops. Should set a proper message screen. A simple but fun game.

Clever - reminds me of the game where you start on a random page and have to get to Gandhi or Jesus.

One the most creative ideas I’ve seen in the jam. Really fun to play as well, good job!

Incredibly creative concept! But when a game mechanic is based on real-world data, it can be tricky to balance the difficulty for each run.

Such a unique idea. I loved it, although finding a loop for Science was quite tough!! They just don't link Science as much as you would think xD very well done, I haven't been this happy to read a bunch in a long time!
