Use of the limitation
The scenes have to be filmed in one shot, like literally, as a camera man. also the whole game does not let you go back to previous scenes, only one complete shot counts.

nice game, creative idea, and well executed, good level of challenge, really feels brutal when the director calls cut!

Really creative idea that works very well. It's easy to get into but pretty hard to master, in the best way possible!

I love this concept, I have never seen an action platformer be utilised like that and the fact that the camera distance was rigid made it so much more challenging to try and get the shot, I had a great time playing!

Loved this one! The fact the frame stays at a consistent range adds a lot to having to move/platform correctly. Keep it up!

Great concept! I'd love some feedback when the actor is in frame but other than that it's great fun and very creative.

Thanks! I've wanted to tint it red or orange when not in frame, but ran out of time

Yeah! That sounds more than enough. Great job!

really a great idea

Great concept! Very smooth and easy to understand gameplay. The camera control for me was maybe a little difficult I think it would be perfect if my sensitivity wasn't so high though XD.

Developer

Did you play with mouse and keyboard? Mouse control is actually a bit worse than controller, as you can control the distance with the controller, which I did not manage to implement in time for mouse controls. Also moving the camera with the camera viewport makes it harder, which I also wanted to fix, but had no time left :/ glad you liked it though! thanks for playing :)

Developer

thank you!

Amazing concept! The overall execution of the idea and the gameplay is really fun. I also like it how the exact controls for moving the camera are not that easy to master. The way the frame position is also tied to the camera man gives it just the right difficulty.  Good job!

thanks, glad you liked it :)
