    Geo Racers – Race from London to Tokyo on a single bus pass▲152

    I've spent about a year building this game which is inspired by the BBC show "Race across the World". For those that don't know you have to race from point A to point B only using public transport and without flying. You have starting money but if you need to top up your funds you can work jobs. Any feedback is greatly recieved.
