This is really interesting. I found it difficult to focus on more than one car at once, but I enjoyed the feeling of juggling all the cameras. I also liked the inclusion of the slower car as a sort of tutorial. Good work on this!

This looks so good and I really want to play it. But for some reason, whenever I open it, only a small portion can be seen on my monitor. Might try again in a few hours or so.

Very interesting idea, quite tricky to get good at haha. Not sure if it's my machine, but every time I open it it doesn't properly center on my screen so a chunk of the top and left are cut off.

Submitted

love this idea, it really hit the feeling of trying to coordinate cameras for something like this

Submitted

I liked the concept a lot. Definitely a unique game in the jam that I haven't seen before. It does make you appreciate the guys coordinating real TV more.

Submitted

Very interesting concept, reminds me a lot by that one cars movie haha, great execution and satisfying movement! This was my high score :D

Giving my wrist a workout, call that carpool tunnel

A creative idea with good execution is hits different. Well done.

Really creative! Thought this was a fun experimental jam game.

I have a newfound appreciation for the people who manage to do this on live TV.

It is fun though. Only problem is that the cars end up at various different spots throughout the track at some point so it becomes physically impossible to keep them all in frame.

It's an ok game. I'm not sure if you intended the 3D art to be pixellated and I felt that it would've been better with some sound. 

Submitted

wow definitely a unique game. guarantee no one's ever thought of this before hahaha. it's pretty hard to get the hang of, but once you do it can be pretty satisfying following a car from one cam to the next

Submitted

There's something very satisfying about getting a good shot of a car coming around the bend and then following it to the next curve. Half the time I only realize after the fact that I haven't switched my current camera to the live feed! This is a super fun idea and I feel like there's a lot of room to build on it in various ways - make certain cars more valuable to the camera, make crashes happen now and then (cuz people love to see crashes), maybe make silly things happen in the crowd. Nicely done!

Submitted

I got all three cars on screen at one point and felt like a camera legend. Really neat idea! I got about ~4500 points for real. I then realized that once the race is over you can stare at the cars on the starting track and still get points. I then achieved 10,000+ points!

The circuit reminds me Interlagos btw great game!
