Interesting concept that fits the theme well! Great job!
We had a really similar idea in my mind at the beginning! We loved this because you nailed it!
Like the concept. Good job :)
Climbing up the mountain to draw the vistas was great and fit the theme of exploration. The maps are square-aligned, cute game nicely done!
I had fun putting together a mostly inaccurate map of your small island. Thank you for sharing!
Really well put together! Love the music, brought me back to the feeling of playing pokemon for the first time.
Nice game ! Cool concept, great execution :) ! Well done !
A cute little map-making game! I love the little wobble walk of the playable character. I didn't realize until I submitted that the map icons were supposed to align to the grid as well as they did, so most of mine were a bit off of where they were supposed to be. I also probably should've checked what all of the options were so I'd know what to look for when making the map. But oh well, my bad!
I think my main complaint is the collision with some of the objects is a little tight. It looks like I should be able to squeeze through but can't, and then I had to walk all the way around something.
Oh and very fun background music as well!
Interesting game, well done!
I liked exploring your world and mapping out locations! Cool idea!
The first playthrough I did not understand the concept and did poorly, maybe implement levels so you can start the player off with a smaller map? And I would make the "Switch View" button larger and more prominent, as it was extremely useful in helping me understand the goal and how things were being scored (admittedly I did skip the tutorial). In the end I scored 3950.
I enjoyed the concept a lot and would love to see a full game made from this. The villages / ruins with people / monsters was a really nice touch. I would have liked more maps or random generation, but overall I had a great time.
This fits with the theme very well, even though I got a score of 1000.
Very original concept for this theme.
Quite a nice original short game! Only issue is that on the end screen the list of discovered locations goes off the edge of the screen.
If you were to update the game, randomly generated levels could be quite cool for replayability.
I love how you make your character move around bobbling!
Really original. It was very fun to compare the final map I made with the real map
Cool
Awesome, I really like the way you animated the walk. Very charming.
Very cool concept!
