Really like the game so far. Here's what I noticed and what I'd like to see after my first play though:

1. There should be an 'easy mode' where your money goes into the red, but you're still allowed to spend whatever to get to the end. It would be nice to see I'm $-14,952 in the hole, but I made it (with the ultimate objective to get to the destination while in the black).

2. The bottom overlays overlap. I was taking a ferry from Dublin, and tried to queue up walking to the hotel. The hotel overlay popped up under the "Skip this Ride" message. I don't really care if I can queue up actions, but the stacked overlays were unsightly.

3. I would say LEAVE THE SURPRISES. It was enjoyable to get blind-sighted by having to change my currency in the UK and the fact I lost an hour due to time zone changes.

Good work. Keep it up.

I think the "limited budget" mechanic should be scrapped - instead make the budget unlimited but rank the submissions based on the lowest budget.

One of the best constraints of the TV show is the limited budget (along with the lack of mobile phone). It's frequently the case that teams panic spend in order stay ahead, but are hurt by those decisions later in the race.

Over the series people have also developed strategies within those constraints - so it's quite frequent to see teams earning money in the penultimate leg and taking the time hit in order to splash out in the final leg.

It's a great show if you're able to get hold of it.

I think an easy mode is a good idea, I will explore that. I'm glad you like the surprises, I do think they add another layer to the game and makes it more stategic.

I actually really liked the current mode - for me it was a more fun and exciting challenge wondering whether it was even possible to get there on €500.

Maybe leave it as is, but once you run out of money it could then give you the opportunity to keep playing on sandbox mode or something.

That was actually my original thought as well. It just kind of seamlessly switches over, but I do like the idea of a prompt into sandbox mode too

Well, my run-through had no banks in the UK that I could find, so that was tough.

It's realistic then ;)
