This was a fun little game! I don't think it really needs to be that much easier. A lot of the fun is in trying to orient yourself with the compass and the general shape of each island. That being said, I think the addition of landmarks could add another layer to the game.Those would provide one more point of reference for players who are having a hard time understanding the shape of the island as related to the map. Landmarks could be things like an abnormally big rock, crossed palm trees, a shipwreck, ruins, coral reefs, a big rock that looks like a skull. Ya know, piratey things. I hope this feedback helps! Nice job!
Thanks for your feedback. Landmarks are a really good idea and I think it's just what the game needs. I will add them in the next update.
