Is the current level too hard? Just go over the next block to look for a new one. Did you find a level with a lot of loot? Try to remember where you played, and you can play it again.\r\n\r\n** WARNINGS ** \r\n\r\n(0) If you find a locked door, the key is ALWAYS on another level. Go find it and return. Behind the door is a lot of points.\r\n\r\n(1) When playing on android, if your location services is disabled, the game will crash after the splash screen. Sorry. I know how to fix this bug and will push a patch to the Play Store soon. Until then, make sure location services is on.\r\n\r\n(2) The main idea of the game only works on mobile devices. There is a Desktop version if you can't use the Android version, but you need a mobile device for the full experience.\r\n\r\n(3) The 3rd screenshot is a QR code with a link to the play store page.\r\n\r\n","title":"GeoQuest"}
