I always like in games when you have to actually read the map instead of relying on a minimap. Obviously an orienteering game is quintessentially this! Here, it's this, but on some strange psychoactive drug thanks to the home made engine! It would be interesting to see the source to have a sense of what is going on, because it's really strange, but it has its charm.

I will put it up on github soon, but until then the source is sort of available as it is written in JavaScript. For example the 3D-drawing is in drawObjects in world.js: http://junctioneer.net/compass/www-ld36/js/world.js

I agree with Rico: the home-made engine's peculiarities help to disorient the play somewhat, which makes the orienteering a real challenge! Neat little game. It took me about 3 minutes to finish the course the first time.

Nice idea, I found it a bit hard to get anywhere near the checkpoints, almost like I was looking at them through a fisheye lens. I like the idea though, gj.

Really, really cool. Very nice disorientation game! My children can play this - it give them headaches and they wanted a puke. :D So much fun to play and watch others plays. And the idea - very clever. Nice job!

i LOVE the visual effect, its really cool, especially when in woods, but at the same time it also make me anxious and unconfortable for some reason
for these reason, the "perspective" actually make it to follow the map a bit harder than it should be
