Just published my first project! 🪙
https://aupiscan.itch.io/aupiscan-daily-gold-hunt
AuPiScan hides one gold nugget a day on a grid — the same board for everyone. You sweep with a metal detector, the signal rises as you get closer, and you reason out where to dig with a limited number of digs. The twist: pyrite (fool’s gold) reads EXACTLY like real gold, iron trash lies to you, and on some days a rusted nail masks the nugget completely.
Free, plays in the browser, ~30 seconds a day, plus unlimited free play. No signup, no ads.
I built it solo — I’m also prototyping a REAL metal detector (patent filed), and this started as a simulator to test the detection logic. It turned out fun enough to publish.
Honest question: did you understand what to do without anyone explaining it? If you got lost in the first 10 seconds, tell me — that’s what I most need to fix. I’ll be in the comments.
