I finally had a chance to check this out; sorry to only have bugs and usability issues to report. Iphone with safari.

I opened the link on my phone and saw that there was a room code. I finally figured out that I had to open up a second screen so I went to my computer and I typed in that room code and it said that no phones were available to join, but my phone was sitting there in that same room. I tried creating the room first on my computer then joining that same room as typed on my phone and that also didn't work.

After some time, I realized I needed to take an actual photo of the QR code that was on the website from my phone and only then was I able to actually get into the racer.

Already having spent more time than I would've wanted to I was happy to see the Formula One race on the screen! I accelerated and promptly drove off the track as I apparently cannot steer. Nothing I can do to figure out how to steer.

If this worked, it would've been really neat

Thank you very much for trying and taking the time to give feedback :D

I'm sorry about the issues

I've made it a lot more clear that it's a computer screen + phone controller

And the safari browser was a little tricky and needed an extra permission, so now users on safari will see a big button to enable tilt steering

I hope you find it a lot better and I am also planning a much better tutorial screen to test the tilt steering and controls before the game starts
