Show HN: GlobeHoppr – find a route between cities using limited-distance jumps

https://globehoppr.com
3•JohnJohnson123•50m ago
Hi HN,

I built a game where you have to travel from point A to B by hopping through intermediate cities.

Each jump has a maximum range, so you can’t simply select the destination. You need to build a route through cities that are close enough together, using as few jumps as possible.

It sounds straightforward until you need to cross a part of the world where you only know one or two cities. I’ve found that the game exposes a different kind of geographical knowledge: not just knowing where countries are, but understanding how cities connect across a region.

There’s a fixed daily route that everyone can compare, along with unlimited practice games, weekly challenges and multiplayer.

I hope people enjoy it and I would love any feedback!
