About Orienteering Game

Our Mission

We reduce the barrier to entry for orienteering by bringing map reading, compass usage, control sequencing, and finish validation into one practical training experience. New players can start quickly, and experienced runners can test decision speed under realistic constraints.

Why Realism Matters

Navigation quality is decided by visibility, vegetation passability, contour interpretation, and micro-route planning. We focus on those factors instead of arcade shortcuts, so your in-game behavior stays close to field behavior.

Core Simulation Pillars

• Procedural terrain and vegetation density zones with different movement penalties
• Checkpoint punch sequence with strict validity checks and DQ handling
• Finish flow hardened against freeze states and asynchronous API delays
• Map sharing through challenge code and comparable leaderboard metrics
• Mobile-first interaction plus desktop precision camera controls

ISOM-Oriented Direction

Our long-term map direction references ISOM 2019 symbol logic and real event cartography constraints. The objective is not only visual similarity, but route-choice fidelity: what looks runnable on map should feel runnable in scene.

Open Development Promise

We iterate with transparent changelogs, replayable test flows, and deployment traceability from GitHub to Cloudflare. Major gameplay regressions are treated as blocker issues and fixed with measurable verification steps.

FAQ

Is this game suitable for beginners?

Yes. Start from easier courses, learn control order, then move to denser terrain and more complex routes.

Can I share maps with friends?

Yes. Challenge map codes are generated for direct play and ranking comparison.

Is mobile supported?

Yes. Mobile is primary target, desktop remains fully supported.
