Filmechanism

Filmechanism is a 2D puzzle action game in which you guide REC, a camera humanoid from another star, to each stage’s goal. REC can record and restore the state of a stage, letting you change the layout as you solve more than 200 puzzles.

Record and restore

REC collects film found on a stage and records its state. You can restore that state at any time. For example, record falling footholds or pushable blocks before they move, then restore them to create a route to the goal. Solving puzzles calls for working out conditions before and after an action, as well as moving according to the situation.

Stage gimmicks

Stages contain a range of obstacles and objects:

• Pushable blocks: push them left or right, and ride on them.
• Spiked blocks: these fall from above, so avoid being hit.
• Falling floors: some sections fall when REC steps on them.
• Spring floors: these bounce REC into the air once.
• Number doors: open them by placing the correct number of blocks on a switch.

The stages include many more gimmicks to discover. The game presents its puzzles in a retro, stylish world with 8-bit graphics and sound.
