Man that was pretty difficult to play! I did get a hang of it after a few tries though. I feel like a screen to tell the player lost would benefit the game for sure.

quite the creative Idea indeed!
I truly admire the execution here! I have seen many cameraman type games in this jam but honestly this is the best executed one I have seen yet, albeit a bit hard at first, it is a fine balance between fun and challenging, I like that you can see the Mario game too! albeit its hard to focus on them too at the same time, I think that is part of the challenge, visually, while simple it gets the job done, and the gameplay loop is fun and quite solid,
overall an excellent entry, a very solid and fun game too! great work!
Super creative and hilarious idea! But wow is it hard, that poor cameraman :')
I was laughing so much at Mario's crazyness on my left eye, while crying on my right eye as I could not follow :')
Great and funny concept, would be awesome as a Nintento Switch game with the split screen :)
Cool concept, would've loved to see more. The character spend more time hugging the right wall, might be worth removing his ability to walk backwards, the curses is also not sensitive enough to properly keep up with him. But, that's all technical stuff, all in all great idea with great potential!
Mario sometimes was too fast to keep the camera in line
And sometimes he flew off the map as he broke the fabric of spacetime.
Other than that. A solid game overall
Cool concept, I felt like Mario was way to fast to keep up with.
Edit: Also really like the split screen style
Really fun but I struggle to keep up with the player once they start jumping at mach speed haha. Could be really cool as your camera guy completes levels he gets harder jobs until he reaches the endgame of being a cameraman for a speed runner.
I love all the parody games coming out of this jam, and this one was great, made me laugh. I felt like not-Mario was showing off at my expense the whole time.
Hey! we had pretty similar ideas, but I love seeing that actual cameraman behind the scenes XD. I liked having to split my attention, interesting mechanic, tho it was pretty difficult with how suddenly the mario player moves.
I love the concept- just the idea of a video game cameraman having to follow my player character around puts a smile on my face. I agree with others that it's a tad difficult. Really cool concept.
Thank you for informing us about the daily struggle of the so called, "Camera Man." I will make sure this mystical "Camera Man" has to suffer no more :).
