Puzzle

Health and safety violations in every corner

Existing in the intersection of puzzle game, platformer and level editor, It’s A Wrap! casts you as the director of a low-budget, probably bad Hollywood flick that’s surely about to be sued for workplace injury claims. Essentially, you rejig platforms and background props and obstacles in the level (as the director) and then you zoom in for some dangerous side-scrolling goodness (as the actor). Oh, and did I mention that it’s out now? Shadow-drop!

Our ill-fated movie star is called Johnny Rush, and along with the rest of the crew, he’s stuck in a Groundhog Day time loop that restarts whenever the stunt is deemed unsuccessful (aka whenever Johnny gets squashed, burnt or hit with an asteroid on set). Rehearsals are important, people.

Rachel Watts (RPS in peace) checked out the game's demo at this year’s Steam Next Fest and loved her time with it:

That demo, along with the full game, is available on Steam, GOG and the Epic Games Store. It’s A Wrap! also comes to the Nintendo Switch on August 31st.
