Thank you for checking it out!

If you're on mobile you need to tap and swipe to cast then tap the screen once the indicator lands within the golden ring.

Same on desktop, expect click and hold to cast and space/click once the indicator aligns.

I've had some people have trouble with this, it seems like I should make this more intuitive.

You make a good point, I don't believe so. I currently block most LLM/AI threads and some pages can get quite sparse. Would love to check that out if you get around to putting that together!

You can do this with a custom filter list in Ublock Origin, no custom extension necessary.

Perhaps because you've chosen to install a PWA instead of continuing to use the website? The experience is different, if you want a browser like environment, just use the browser.

A clone right even down to the name!

Ahh got you? Now that I think about it I have vague memories of such a game, just with another name perhaps.

I'm working on a little mobile game which surrounds locating and collecting VW beetles 'spots'.

I've been spending a lot of time in México over the last year and have been working on a photography project surrounding the VW Beetles (Vochos as they call them) you'll find all over the country. I'm inspired by the range of character of the Vochos and how they've become ingrained in the country's cultural landscape.

I realized I had a sort of hyper-niche problem where I was locating Vochos I'd like to shoot when I wasn't carrying my camera. I was getting annoyed with using Google Maps to list locations I'd like to return and shoot so I spent a weekend putting the app together and turning it into a game.

After using the app for a few weeks I've realized the spotting or hunting of the cars is the part I enjoy the most about my project and when I have the time I'd like to publicize it so others who find themselves in Vocho dense area can check it out if they'd like!

Search the same thing rephrased slightly differently 5 times to find the right result, and I can show you 5 sets of ads related closely to the topic of your search.

Did you take the paycut to go fully remote, or were there other circumstances leading to that change?
