It’s a Wrap, which was only just announced for Switch this month, is coming out very soon. Publisher AMC Games and developer Chanko Studios have announced that it’ll be out for the console on August 31, 2023.
As a reminder, It’s a Wrap is a 2D puzzle platformer inspired by classic action films of the 1980s. We have more information about it in the following overview:
Though inspired by B-movies, It’s a Wrap! launches wrapped in laurels from festivals around the globe. The game has been included in 19 showcases at venues like PAX West and London Games Festival; top awards include the Critic’s Choice Award at Indie Game Fest 2023, Excellence in Design and IGN Japan’s Media Highlight Award at BitSummit 2022, Most Innovative Newcomer at the Creative Gaming Awards 2022, and the award for Most Fun at Indie X 2022.
As Chanko Studios’ debut title, these acknowledgments are a testament to the small team’s exceptional craftsmanship, passion, and dedication to delivering a standout puzzle experience. “It’s a Wrap! is our heartfelt tribute to the golden era of 80s action movies, and we hope it resonates with players who like their puzzles challenging and their action over-the-top,” said Guillaume Bernard and Dominik Schwäger, Co-Founders of Chanko Studios.
It’s A Wrap! cleverly combines challenging puzzle-solving, satisfying 2D platforming, and an abundance of 80s nostalgia. In It’s a Wrap! the player directs and stars in low-budget Hollywood films trapped in a loop of rehearse, die, and repeat. With the unique “timeline editing” mechanic, players assume the role of director and must skillfully maneuver the timing of actors, props, and special effects to craft the perfect scene before the cameras start rolling. Places, people!
As soon as you hear “action,” the player switches roles to take control of film star Johnny Rush as he navigates a series of meticulously choreographed stunts. Whether it’s evading explosive trucks in a high-speed motorcycle chase, dodging asteroids in epic space battles, or outrunning a boulder chasing you down a treacherous cavern, Johnny Rush will meet his cartoonish yet spectacular demise time and time again until everything is picture perfect.
