It's a Wrap!

Ahh- I really wanted to like this game. I saw the first few puzzles on a lets play and decided I had to try it. The style stays cute, the scripts are cheesy and great, but the puzzles and platforming get frustrating pretty quickly. A few of the levels are very clear on what you need to do- but there's so many moving pieces it feels like random luck getting the right answer. For example, there's a section where you need to aim a worms head at a rock and fire. You can only fire at certain intervals and each limb can be rotated (Not freely, but you choose the timings of the rotations that are on the timeline- and when those rotations happen). There's 4 segments that rotate. I spent 30 minutes missing the rock. Those types of missions get more and more common. Really wish I could recommend it- such a cool idea and style! There are some cool levels but the later ones get just a bit too much for my tastes.

Such a bizarre concept of a game. I was very intrigued by the idea, and after playing it, I must say it works surprisingly well and now I'm left wondering why this has not been done before. However, unfortunately not all of the levels are fun to play or figure out. Some levels emphasize too much on the platforming aspect, it makes me question myself whether I have the timeline correctly sorted. Other times, there is zero platforming needed but the timeline is such a mess such that the only way forward is to try all combinations until you get one that works. Probably my biggest gripe is when I know the general direction of the solution, but it takes too much time to arrange everything on the timeline. Say you need a guard to be at one place at a given time. Naturally, you need to do a lot of other stuff to achieve that, say raising a platform at some specific time. However, raising the platform too early will block you from completing the level, thus you need to adjust it again, and also re-align everything that factors to the guard's movement. When there are 5 or 6 elements that depend on each other, this becomes tedious fast. Also, sometimes the granularity of the timeline is too coarse, so you can't make one event happen at the exact time you want, only a little too early or too late, resulting in more timeline shuffling. On the other hand, the hint system is very granular, so you can decide how much you want the game to tell you. I still think that it's best to let the design of the puzzle guide the player instead of giving hints though, but you can't please everyone. All in all, I think the novelty of this game defeats its shortcomings, and I pretty much recommend everyone to at least sample a taste.

The Dark Souls of puzzle platformer! While playing I was cursing at the developers and applauding them at the same time. Some of the levels are ridiculously hard, but the triumph you feel after you beat on of them is priceless. I have never seen a game of this genre with level desgin as diversified and clever as this.

I really really want to like this game. It combines interesting puzzles with challenging platforming, and if you really enjoy both of those things this game might be for you. It is not for me. The platform is way tighter than I'd expect: I've struggled to execute the correct solution after getting the puzzle solved. Which means I spend a lot of time trying the wrong puzzle solutions when I'm struggling to execute the platforming for the right one. And have had to resort to slowly solving puzzles using the in game hints (I love the hint system), and then grinding out the platforming separately. I think it's an amazing idea, and I can only recommend it to folks who like hard platformers.

Оригинальная живая идея с приятной графикой и анимацией. Отсылки к кину 80х-90х ,вроде крепкого орешка или Индианы Джонс, радуют глаз. Вот и все хорошее,что можно сказать... Далее начинаются испытания на стабильность нервной системы, потому что циклы взаимосвязаны и не всегда можно понять без элементов перебора вектор действий. Игру стоит проходить как хорошее вино: по глоточку и с перерывами между подходами в пару дней. Игра как задачка в математике: при уставании замыкаешься и начинаешь топтаться на месте,вместо того,чтобы изменить подход и взглянуть иначе на картину.

Já pensou ter um jogo do seu job? Eu não, haha. Mas parece que aconteceu. It's a Wrap é um game sobre edição de vídeo, em parte. Você primeiro arruma elementos da timeline, como se fosse um puzzle, movendo obstáculos, inimigos, cenario e afins, pra depois meter o enter e em vez de dar play no filme, tu entra num segmento de plataforma. Portanto o loop de gameplay aqui é colocar tudo na ordem perfeita para depois conseguir fazer a parte de plataforma, que tem de ser perfeita... É super criativo, e funciona NA TEORIA, mas tem alguns problemas chatos. Diverte, mas não é pra todos. E eu falo melhor aqui: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CVtgnEzuiTs

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.

动作与解密的结合，游戏多多少少有一点“玩家自己设计平台跳跃关卡、自己来玩过去”的感觉。 很有创意，虽然关卡难度升的有点快。

I like this game but it makes me feel like an idiot.
