It's a Wrap!

This is not how you do a puzzle-platformer. You can get the correct solution on the puzzle, do the platforming slightly wrong, and you will never know which of the two aspects you are screwing up. And it is very easy to screw up the platforming, the controls are not very good.

This game needed way more polish and testing.

TL;DR I 100%'d this "puzzle platformer" game. It has soul and a fun plot with adequate execution. It does neither puzzling nor platforming well. I would only recommend this to someone who enjoys tediously challenging games. It's obvious this game was made with passion and love, and I so [i]wanted[/i] to like this game. To be fair, there are things to like! The art style, the puzzle controls/UI, and the delightfully cheesy plot and characters. Indeed, the game's premise/hook is very good as well. I think it's fair to say "It's a Wrap" delivers on it's promise; however, this is ultimately not truly a puzzle game and isn't a great platformer either. Since I'm a puzzle gamer foremost, I will focus on that aspect of the game (one minor platforming comment at the end of my review). The main focus of the puzzles were to generally find a gimmick of the level that's usually not apparent until you start playing with the scene controls. The developers make an effort to hint at these gimmicks in most levels, but I managed to still miss some during my time. Additionally, once you figure out the gimmick, there's the matter of actually making it happen which is less puzzle-y and more trail an…

A challenging and quite enjoyable platformer/puzzle game. The gameplay requires you to manipulate and time the various events of whichever scene you're filming with precise movements of your character in order to reach a marked objective. Lots of trial and error is required, especially towards the end of the game, where the number of variables on screen to consider can get overwhelming. Yet, whenever I found the right solution to the puzzle in front of me, I felt a sense of accomplishment. I believe this game deserves more attention.

Short and Sweet

Pros: [list] [*]Creative puzzle platformer with Adobe Premier-style gameplay! [*]Funny cutscenes. [*]Cute art style. [*]There are secrets! [/list] Cons: [list] [*]Some of the puzzles feel like you're meant to brute force part of the solution, but at least you can always use hints to make the process easier. I brought eternal shame upon my family by using a total of 3-4 hints during my playthrough. [/list]
