I liked the concept, but I wish the shakiness of the camera was balanced a little more so it would feel more like it's a game about keeping your movements precise to correctly follow the skater. I liked the art style, tho, and some tweaks to the main theme would make it better. Overall, I appreciate your effort

I liked the idea more than the execution itself. The camera felt a bit too... jumpy? Not sure how to say it, and the shot that the game rated as "the best" were weird.


I think it would work well on a gamepad and with a bit more polish. Keep it up tho!

Yeah we wanted to keep it somewhat difficult, so there's camera sway and drift towards the center, but I could imagine if it was too much. And ideally I would have liked to do framing based on percentage of Hony within the camera's collider, but we didn't have the time, so I made Hony have three invisible colliders (Board, Body and Head). I think the camera's collider adjustment when zooming could use a little fine tuning as well.

High score 3194. 

Really amusing concept. I had a great time. It took me a 1 terrible run as a camera man to fully get the mechanics and now that I do I am ready to be a camera operator. All jokes aside, I think it's a pretty good game. I liked how frantic it felt. I think it was a really good idea to have each of the 3 major systems( framing, focus, and zoom) be what your score is dependent on, and I liked that it was about finding the balance between all three and trying to keep them in the green. Well done. I don't have much feedback only that I think it could be made a little clearer that Hony Tawk has switched lanes.  Thank you for making this :D

GREATE GAME! Great Gameplay and Great execution. I had a great time.

Btw. Do you know if I can put the Hi-Score 2754 on my CV if I applied for a job as a camera operator?

I like how you can change your zoom to make your own difficulty. The controls require getting used to, but i got to top 3 on leaderbords so I think I got it :D

Far out! Nice concept on the theme. The hardest part was getting used to the controls; it's a lot to keep track of. It wasn't shared in the "How to Play" page, but I find using the Arrow Keys with my right hand were much better than WASD, otherwise it's too much responsibility and swapping around for the left hand. Would make it even better if JKL were moved to 123, then you don't have to dance your hands around the keyboard.  Good entry!

Developer

Very true, I was considering adding 1,2,3 as additional controls for focus but forgot about it as we kept working on the game. Alternate controls would go a long way

I liked all the different camera operations!

Really clever take on the jam theme, good job!

It takes a little while to get used to, I think controller support would be great in a post-jam update. Left stick could be used to move around, right stick could be for the zoom, and the L/R triggers could be for focusing. Definitely appreciated the writing in the how-to-play screen, and the little visual touches such as the camera screen actually displacing the position of the things it's filming were all very nice. Shout-outs to the cool music too, always love it when these game jams use original tunes!

haha that frozen bird. are you using another camera for your camera or is it shader magic?

Developer(+1)

We're using a second camera, and using shaders to handle the focus and blur.
