Trackoons

Trackoons is an 8-person local multiplayer game for PC/Mac/Linux, where you play as raccoons facing off in a race in downtown Toronto. 

There’s a problem, though — you’ve eaten far too much, your belly is too full, and you’re too stuffed to jump! The only thing you can do is to use your joystick and swap positions with the runners adjacent to you and hope maybe they’ll hit an obstacle and fall out of the race, leaving you safely in the lead: Winner! Gagnant!

Trackoons is an uncooperative game which requires you to be ruthless and toss your fellow raccoon friends into obstacles. In real life, Trackoons uses a custom-built 8-person joystick rig, in which the joysticks are positioned in such a way that all 8 players must squish in — physically messing up their friends while simultaneously messing them up in the virtual realm.

Trackoons was originally made as part of Dames Making Games’ Gym Jam game jam in Spring 2015 in collaboration with Maggie McLean, Robby Duguay, Robert Peacock, and Yuliya Boublikova.
