PicoMachines! You are the orange racer. Try and get round the track before the others can for 3 laps of too-close-to-the-camera fun. WASD to move/rotate, space to flip between too far away camera and too close camera. Some of the cars are jerks.
RECOMMENDATIONS: Play on highest quality. It's not that intensive and a bug appeared in build where the text won't run on lower quality (sorry). Play on 16:9 resolution. I didn't think ahead much with this so that makes it look best.
This game has some problems. Maybe needs a little tutorial? I pressed space bar and then couldn't see where I was going for a long time. The collisions between cars is fun!
Interesting idea, sometimes the perspective does not follow when the car already leave the point of view, but sometime it does, therefore it feels a bit strange.
On Linux, the text about laps remaining and such didn't show up. Otherwise, I liked the collisions and even though the driving physics was a little odd, I liked the friction and slowdown. Pretty cool. I also really thought it was cool that there was the one screen mode and then also a closer view. That's a cool approach.
Interesting idea, but it doesn't really adhere to the theme (imo). Camera was buggy and AI was, uh, funny! I liked the basic mechanics/physics though. Could have used some music.

I found that the rotating was too sensitive and it took most of my playing time to figure out how to play. I was on the 'world map' for quite some time and was unable to see any pattern until it jumped into the close up.
