Pinger is a game about using triangulation to locate gold while avoiding water and mining as little dirt as possible. By deploying a sort of sonar pulse, the player can see how far they are from pieces of gold. By deploying pulses from different locations, they can figure out the precise locations of these gold pieces.
It was created for the Ludum Dare 29 competition, and was a great success, earning 29th place, out of over 2000 participants. (Amusingly, I did not notice this coincidence until writing this document.)
