First of all, would like a windowed option since it full-screened on the wrong monitor immediately, but secondly, wow this is a good time. I love puzzles that are open-ended and require tons of thought, and this game has that in spades. Only thing I'd say is to make the scoring a bit more lenient and the map a bit more detailed, it felt incredibly specific and hard to parse the exact locations of things. Otherwise though, very very cool, would absolutely love to see this concept explored further.

Thanks for playing and your feedback. We definitly set the difficulty level a little to high

Glad to see people wanting more of this game!
We're talking about how we could potentially expand on this project. Stay tuned :)

We definitely didn't do a good job with the scoring system balance.
You're spot on with the ideas of different terrain/obstacles, we even planned for some environmental variations that would make the player think a little bit more outside the box to calculate certain distances but ultimately we didn't manage to execute this in time.
Thank you for playing!

Thanks for playing! We mess up a tlittle the balance system a few minutes before the deadline. How many points did you have?
Sorry, I've forgotten at this point! But I know that specifically, the scale scores were almost all 0/2, but most of my position and rotation ones were 2/2. Getting the scale correct on any perimeter landmarks was definitely easier because you just had to line things up with the map's drawn lines.
Maybe something like this would be a bit easier if there were grid lines or something similar to help show how proportionate everything is? I know that would kind of defeat the purpose though, and isn't very pirate-y, so maybe not that specifically!

Thank you for playing. Yes, step counting based on footstep sound, to complete the game, you have to put some map pieces, then press the spacebar and find the X mark on the island to dig up the treasure

Yeah, we royally messed up the position scoring threshold, it's incredibly hard to get them right even when you know where the pieces are supposed to be. I think the scale and rotation scoring isn't as strict.
Thanks for taking the time to play through the game a couple of times, we really appreciate it!

Thanks for playing the game!
If you had the prompt to finish the map and you pressed Space there should be a red X mark placed both on the map and in the world. You need to get to the X and dig up the treasure.

I guess we should have made it a bit more obvious hehe :)
Happy to hear you enjoyed the game enough to give it another try!
