Is it possible to cycle through the drawings after time runs out to see the shape of the country with its name? This would help in learning the ones that look kind of non-descript.
I've played about 30 times, and didn't come across Canada, Indonesia, Philippines, etc. Are these countries excluded because of the large number of islands?
Yep, countries with too many islands are a bit of a pain to make - joining them all together into one line and then individually masking out all the joins - plus some other issues with getting them to draw in a good order.
I did make Canada with a fair few of its islands but the coast is so long and complicated that the draw time was excessive and it took up a lot of file space. I tried simplifying it but it didn't look that good. I might try again at some point.
The artistry of this quiz, as many have already said, is unsurpassed. But here's another plead for more time. I am a geography enthusiast and haven't been able to get anywhere close to finishing. I'd like to see what I could do with at least four minutes.
It's really great, how a small change (to be honest, to make the quiz was not at all a small effort, but a big one) of an existing quiz (shapes of countries) can make such a fantastic new experience!
Amazing quiz, what a great idea! My only feedback would be relating to skipping answers. For PC users you can easily press the DOWN or TAB key. For many smartphones this is not possible. Can you please include a skip button or any other solution for smartphone users?
No. No no no no no. I’m without words right now. We already thought was impossible do something better, or like the Spinning Globe by Crem, but now, he, Overtired, full us of the opposite: animation. I can’t stop playing this quiz, and I’m... what to say with it? How many praises we can say? Marvelous, insane, amazing, gorgeous, funny, beautiful, divine, brilliant, wonderful... DAMN! I’M WITHOUT PRAISES! I really want to learn how you did it. All of us want to learn, this, before you get overtired lol! You make us happy with your presence and amazing quizzes. A shame, that I can’t nominate it anymore. We don’t know anymore who is the SVG Emperor. Is IAB? Is Jiao? Is Pandora? Is Dug? Is many I’m forgetting at this moment? I know that Overtired can’t be a candidate of SVG Emperor. Why? Because these aren’t SVGS. Are games, culture, and lifestyle. A new subscriber for you! I need to stop now, because I won’t have more praises, and characters for write. Just be knowing: this is amazing.
more time please! some of the countries take a while to "load" so more time would be useful :) I know the earlier you guess is part of the challenge but still some take a WHILE! love the idea
I would also like to know how to make it skip it I am unable to guess one. Do I have to give up and start over each time I come to a country's shape I am unfamiliar with?
Given the tight time constraints, it would be nice to have a quick-to-use "skip" button. Other than that, it's perfect. As good as it gets. Brilliant. Addictive.
I would suggest making the animations quicker if you aren't going to increase the time limit. There is a lot of time spent just waiting for the animation to run its course.
One of those quizzes where I wish there was a "I need more time as my phone keyboard covers half the screen so I lose time scrolling to see the picture and/or access controls" option. Still fun though!

Btw, my own country was the first one that I got! What are the odds of that happening! Xd
Just one remark: Honduras outline is a mirror image.
My first attempt failed because I couldn't figure out how to make it skip once I got stuck (using an iPad). Suggestions anyone?
If you have a keyboard, Hit TAB or DOWN to skip.
Addictive.

Thanks for making and sharing it.
Also don't tell anyone but me

You should patent this and sell this idea to the Quizmaster!

ok
I like this quiz among the best, because it is hard to "cheat" with a search engine.
Please can you do more continents
Would love the challenge of oceania especiallly
Nearly but not quite enough time for me to complete it - which is a big factor in making it so addictive.
Well done and thank you.
