About
"It's a Wrap!" is a 2D puzzle platformer set in 1980s Hollywood, where you play as both the director and star of low-budget films. As the director, synchronize actors and props for the perfect scene, and as the star, control Johnny Rush in action-packed sequences. Experience a variety of traditional platforming challenges and a vibrant, colorful art style. Each failure leads to a unique and humorous death.

Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be tedious, particularly when dealing with multiple interdependent elements that require repetitive adjustments and trial-and-error. While the hint system is appreciated for alleviating some of the frustration, the overall experience can feel more like a chore than an engaging puzzle or platforming challenge, raising concerns about potential monotony as the game progresses.
“When there are 5 or 6 elements that depend on each other, this becomes tedious fast.”
“On the downside, the challenge feels like a lot of trial and error as opposed to puzzle solving or platforming-based challenge, and I do worry about how tedious that might get later in the game.”
“For example, instead of using the triggers and buttons to seek the timeline and elements back and forth, the button just takes your cursor to the seek thing, so if you want to tweak, then seek back and forth, then tweak, it's pretty tedious.”
