Guess Country

In Brief

A simple guess the name of the country via a picture of the flag puzzle game. You can see a video of game play HERE. There are some spelling issues with this game; for example in the video you can see both Australia and Turkey spelled incorrectly.

The Game

A nice little flag puzzle game made with Unity with spelling elements and a link to Wikipedia information about the game; so that you can learn about the countries included in this game. If you only have a singe monitor set up, you won't be able to see the Wikipedia information until you shut the game down, or send it to the task bar because the browser opens behind the game.

Each flag is presented as a large clear image with a couple of rows of jumbled letters underneath. you have to select the correct letters, which when clicked on in the correct order will move to the blanked area's. You can get clues such as a letter from the country, or the full name if you are stuck by spending points you've earned by guessing countries correctly. Other clues include the number of blank boxes, which indicates the number of letters in the country's name (no cost for this one). My third flag was the Australian flag, but when I spelled out the name of the country there was an extra box left, which confused me, so I spent a few points (see images below) to see where I was going wrong. Nope, it was the developers error. They had spelled Australia with an extra i inserted, i.e. Austrailia.

It's a pity the developer didn't check their spellings otherwise this could have been a decent (and fun) learning tool for children (and even some adults), but, as it stands it's more of a hindrance because of the poor spelling.

If the developer was willing to fix the issue it would even be worth releasing on Steam (IMO). It's currently available on Itch.io. I may post a comment on that site to inform the developer of the mistakes he's made as I'm certain there will be other mistakes.

Update, a community member has already confirmed more mistakes after only five attempts; two out of the five counties were incorrectly spelled, which doesn't bode well for the rest of the game. I've also posted a comment about the spelling issues on the developers page over on Itch.io HERE
