Hi everyone! I'm excited to share EarthGuessr with you all. It’s a simple idea: explore the world through satellite imagery and guess where you are. I’d love to hear your thoughts—feedback is always welcome!
I've been playing for two weeks now and it is a ton of fun. Some suggestions to consider:
Provide a clear radius scoring system. Maybe have three rings where the first ring is a 50km radius, a second with 250km, and a third with 500km, with higher points associated with being in each ring (0 if in none!). It feels pretty crappy when I'm super close to the location but my score doesn't feel as high because I'm not selecting the precise location.
Diversify the locations. Almost every game I find myself picking a location in the middle of Russia, which is largely just agriculture and small towns.
Randomize locations. Not sure how technically difficult this is, but why not make a random location mode that selects an area so long as it is not ocean?
Show location if guess is not made. Sometimes I'll lock in on trying to find the location on a map that I forget to select a location, but I want to know where it was.
Make guessing map larger. I'd love if there was a button that swapped the satellite screen with the map guess screen so I don't have to squint on the bottom right.
