Snapshot (video game)

Snapshot is a platform game developed by Retro Affect and released on 30 August 2012 for Microsoft Windows and Mac OS X.

The player also controls a camera viewfinder, the Snapshot of the title, with the mouse.

When a snapshot is taken of an in-game object, it disappears from the gameworld and is stored on the camera; the stored images can then be pasted into new parts of the gameworld to overcome an obstacle.

The objects and elements that can be captured have a wide range of different properties or utilities, such as elephants that serve as walking springboards or gusts of wind that can push the player across long gaps.

Snapshot was created and the second project by a Tempe, Arizona-based developer Kyle Pulver who developed the game together with Peter Jones and Dave Carrigg of Retro Affect.
