Got this game in the humanitarian bundle and made a quick play through. Love the graphics and controls. Can't wait for more tracks, cars and tournaments.

Absolutely lovely game! I'm an avid amateur photographer and I love exploring and taking pictures. I have a couple of suggestions from my first run:. I have MacOS BigSur and the game wouldn't run for me. MacOS said it was damaged and that I should trash it. The 2x "CTRL clicking and opening" trick would not work for me but I did find a workaround::
- Open Terminal
- Type (and don't press ENTER yet): sudo xattr -cr
- Make sure there is a SPACE after "-cr"
- Drag the Shutter Stroll App into the Terminal window which automatically completes the path to the app.
- Press ENTER and type your Mac login password to authenticate the action. It should look like this:
Now I can open the game normally and don't have to repeat this process when I open it the future.
I did have a struggle when it opened though. I eagerly pressed "Start Exploring" but alas, My early 2015 MacBook Pro is not equipped for the default 3360x2100 resolution on Beautiful graphic setting! Everything kinda froze up and for a moment I thought the cooling fan was about to make my Mac lift off. With patience I was able to reduce the resolution and graphic quality (although I don't see any noticeable difference in quality) and the game ran perfectly after that. I've seen many games have an automatic graphic setting which might come in handy here. (Everyone starts by overriding them because "my Mac is special" but the lesson is learned quickly until the next game is installed).
I would also love to be able to crouch and even lie down flat when I'm taking pictures to get those low and super low angles.
I'd also love if the zoom acted more optical, but I understand that this may be very hard to implement. If I zoom in on a tree in the distance the background would sort of enlarge and the depth of field would narrow down making the background blurry. This web app may help explaining, if you alter the "Distance" setting: https://camerasim.com/camerasim-free-web-app/
Lastly, some wildlife (birds and deer maybe?) and more types of trees and flowers could really spice things up. Even dead trees can be very beautiful and they can add a lot of drama to photos.
Even without those alterations I highly recommend this gem! Keep up the good work!
