GeoQuest by caranha
A top down world, you have to collect the coins and power ups. But where does this world come from? From your GPS!
In GeoQuest, information from the Real World is used to create and influence the Game World.
Level generation is controlled by the physical location of your device. Is the current level too hard? Just go over the next block to look for a new one. Did you find a level with a lot of loot? Try to remember where you played, and you can play it again.
** WARNINGS **
(0) If you find a locked door, the key is ALWAYS on another level. Go find it and return. Behind the door is a lot of points.
(1) When playing on android, if your location services is disabled, the game will crash after the splash screen. Sorry. I know how to fix this bug and will push a patch to the Play Store soon. Until then, make sure location services is on.
(2) The main idea of the game only works on mobile devices. There is a Desktop version if you can't use the Android version, but you need a mobile device for the full experience.
(3) The 3rd screenshot is a QR code with a link to the play store page.

It was on android 4.1.2 on Xperia J.
I like the idea, it's simple but playable! Too bad that sometimes it's nearly impossible to outsmart enemies.
Thingo: The coordinates on the Jar are different every time you play :-)
Also, at the beginning I had no idea I'm supposed to collect the keys in other worlds, thus I was wandering aimlessly in the first level. ^^"
It took me a couple of levels to understand what to do though.
