Editor review
Frame Shift is a film-frame puzzle-arcade where you shift frame positions to align scene-edges. Thirty-six puzzles.
What works is the visual feedback. Misaligned edges glow red; aligned edges glow green.
Thirty-six puzzles with progressive frame-count.
Tested over three Glasgow weekend cafe sessions. Touch drag is the natural input.
Where the design earns its rating is the move-count scoring. Optimal solutions use fewer shifts.
Where I would push back is the campaign length.
Three-and-a-half stars. Solid frame-shift puzzle. Limited by length.
