A clever idea that could be really fun if developed a bit further. I had some trouble with the camera swinging vary slowly to orientate on the car, I think it would be much more controllable if the camera were just locked to the car...

I really loved the theme implementation, but i think the cars go too fast, but i give the game 9/10
(ps: Thanks for playing mine!)

Don't Let It Fall!I love car games and I loved the mechanic on this one.
Along with the whole switching the cars before the time runs out. Real adrenaline rush.
Also the UI was clean but a little unclear, as I had to keep my mouse over 'Levels' and then drag it right to select one.
Lastly, like others, the camera could've been implemented better but I liked the rotation which happens whenever you're turning.

SwitchersHey, I loved the mechanic of the game! I played each level for about 5 min. I know 15min is not a long time but here are my thoughts.
My favorite level was the middle one where the roads crossed. I would just wait in the middle and try to hit the cars as they passed by. I was able to get really far that way over 7 laps. The other tracks where much harder to hit other cars with. My favorite part of the game was the switching of cars and I think the roads crossing made that happen more often.
The camera being slightly out of sink with the character made the game really hard to get used to. I think this made the driving more difficult then other racing games I have played.
Great Game!

Cargo BayHey, this game was super fun to play! I unfortunately didn't have as much time to play it as I would have liked, but it had some super interesting mechanics that were well executed. CobaltPath and I also came up with a similar theme for the jam, so it was really awesome to see somebody else execute a similar idea in a completely different way!
Here are the things I've noticed from my short 10 minutes of playing the game:
- I really loved the timer mechanic as it forces the player with a sense of urgency to move from one car to the next super quickly, making the game super frantic and really fun.
- The three different tracks were all super fun to play on, and the simple designs of the tracks worked super well with the mechanics you present the player with.
- The camera was really hard to get used to for me, just because it wasn't smooth, and it was a little bit behind, making me rotate my head a bit whenever I rotate so the game would line up well with my hand eye coordination.
- The drifting was a tad bit extreme, but I'm going to assume this was also an effect of the camera smoothing issue.
I overall really enjoyed it, and I was really hoping somebody would do the same mechanics but in a 2d top down racing game, because I love these. Nice job!
