FILMECHANISM

Take aways: [list] [*] If you like puzzle platformers and think the concept of this game is fun, I recommend you pick it up. This game is easily worth the full asking price. [*] The game 200 one-screen levels across six worlds. Each world has three linear tracks representing three separate difficulties. Even if you play on the easiest difficulty, you should have a good time. The game also has an excellent built-in hint system. [*] This game runs wonderfully on Steam Deck. Unfortunately, the game does not have cloud saving. It's a relatively short game, so it this shouldn't be a huge issue. [*] If you have color blindness that causes you to confuse red, green, and blue you may have a harder time with this game but it should still be playable. [/list] Filmechanism lets the player save and restore the position of certain obstacles within a stage. The player "saves" the position of the obstacles by using film that must be collected in each stage. The game will then show you a colored outline of where the obstacles will be when you "restore" them. The game uses red, green, and blue for these outlines. If you have color blindness that causes you to confuse these three co…

cute little guy, shame I'm terrible at time type puzzles. Also the platforming almost had me give it a thumbs down

Levels in each of the six worlds are divided into three sections - Normal, Hard, and Hell. The first section should not prove too difficult, but the levels in the latter two require planned set up, often along with dexterous execution. Platforming can be unforgiving - the character has to fit in passageways exactly to not bump his head and scuff the upwards jump, but perhaps this is easier with a controller. The character gets quite a lot of "coyote time" (time in the air after stepping off platforms) for lateral jumps - this has to be kept in mind for Hard and Hell sections, which predictably require knowledgeable use of all the game's mechanics. Unfortunately, there is no "undo/rewind time" button and - if the character died or worked himself into a corner - restarting is the only available option. On the bright side, levels can be quickly restarted with a dedicated key. For each level the game also provides hints to be unlocked in the menu - they show screenshots of correct set up at various stages in the level. With gratuitous use of the provided hints, the game took around 16 hours to complete.

An abundance of levels with a really nice difficulty curve. Charming music. Works perfectly on Steam Deck. Worth the buy.

Fun mechanics, introductory rules, step-by-step guides, and innovative help system. Great game, I love ！！！！

Thumbs up to the game and dev, hope it attracts more attention.
