Very innovative! Great take on Theme! I found it a bit too hard. Perhaps having less options between holes or add some more different connections between holes would make it a bit easier.

love the idea

@wizkid Thanks! I figured it would be a little tricky, so I included a "show me the answer" button just in case. For what it's worth all of the connections came from real Wikipedia articles, but maybe I should have chosen them a little more carefully to introduce the concept a little bit better. Thank you for playing and for your feedback!

Not something I would have though of to make for the theme deeper and deeper but it certainly work for it. Overall pretty fun but then again I am the type of person who goes down wikipedia rabbit holes on purpose so maybe I'm biased.

Really cool interpretation of the theme. This is a great gamified version of something I do all the time so I really enjoyed it. It would be cool to see if there were a way to automatically generate new levels.

I'm the guy who made the same kind of game. So I must say that the concept is brilliant! :smile: I like the fact that you can get the solution and also the technical implementation. I will have a look to your source code!

Would never think of something like this, amazing.

Oh wow, this was challenging. Great idea, and well executed. It was definitely a challenge getting it to as few clicks as possible. As a data guy in my day job, it'd be interesting to visualize a time-line / tree chart of clicks / paths taken through the wiki rabbit hole haha.

I went off piste and started looking at all the Java stuff so maybe a 'container' would be good to keep people in the game. :D

I also did a Wikipedia game! I've counted 3 so far =) Looks like we've all done different kinds of implementations, so that's cool to see! I found the layout a bit hard to find the page content as it's the same colour as the main page, maybe different colouring would help? but I like that you removed all the extra cruft from the page so you can just focus on the main bits.

@liammasters Thank you! I had the exact same though of randomly generating new levels. I'll probably do that as a post-compo follow-up!

@johnnysix Thanks! Yeah the Wikipedia API opens up a lot of really cool possibilities. I might have to play around with those ideas after the compo!

@impbox Oh wow I just tried your game out, amazing! Out of curiosity was @rouge-dragon the other Wikipedia game you saw, or is there another one out there?

@kevinworkman thanks! yep just @rouge-dragon's one, I haven't found any others yet.

@impbox Hahaha awesome, let me know if you see any more. It's really cool to see how we all took the same idea in different directions!

That was a really clever take on the theme! I couldn't figure out how to go from Javascript to Babylonian mathematics, in 3 clicks, but I had some fun trying to figure it out! Cool game.

Oh, another Wikipedia game, cool. :smiley:
I like the "Wikipedia Game" and I love that there are actual games now, that monitor your prgress, really cool.

@100th-coin Thank you! If you get stuck you can click the "Show me the answer" button, but maybe that takes away some of the fun. Thanks again for playing!

Ha, brilliant!

I 'played' similar wikipedia challenges with friends, but never before as a workable game that actually counts your steps and lets you click through the actual wikipedia. Neat idea!

Cool game. I would like to see this in a hand crafted version to really allow for more intentional challenge level. Well done.

Great take on the theme!

A really fun theme interpretation - probably one of the best ways I've seen the idea of 'deeper and deeper' represented, probably because of just how relatable it is - who hasn't ended up on this spiral at one point or another.

A really interesting entry!

@colapolka Thank you! Funny enough I found myself going down a lot of Wikipedia rabbit holes as I was making the game!

@rhoff95 Thanks! I could see spinning this off into its own website with high scores and the ability to submit your own challenges. I'll save that idea for a rainy day...

@briibot Thanks so much! I'm so glad the connection with the theme resonated with you, it was a lot of fun going down the rabbit holes as I was trying to decide which ones to use!

Very nice game based on a well known concept. It fits perfectly with the theme :smiley:
I love games that have onlines features like yours !

Mobile app would be great! With challenges, online leaderboard, levels and other functions. Noice!

That was really innovative and a nice change of pace! I liked the seamless integration with the forum, that's a nice touch. Think more work could have been done on the web page itself to make it look more appealing. Otherwise, really awesome work, well done!

Love your interpretation of the theme! I played the game for a while, it's pretty challenging at times but I had fun. Thank you for this creative entry!

Hello. Maybe the best game which I have ever seen for the 48th LudumDare session. Really innovative and addictive. Great take of the theme - and you did that using HTML. Honestly you deserve more ratings. I have to take a look at the code source. Well done ++
