  • Summary: Loop Raccord is a video editing game about synchronizing a chain of video clips in order to create an illusion of continuous movement between them.**Finalist for the Nuovo Award in the Independent Games Festival****Finalist in the IndieCade Festival****Featured at the Experimental GameplayLoop Raccord is a video editing game about synchronizing a chain of video clips in order to create an illusion of continuous movement between them.**Finalist for the Nuovo Award in the Independent Games Festival****Finalist in the IndieCade Festival****Featured at the Experimental Gameplay Sessions in the Game Developer´s Conference****Exhibited at "La Gaîté Lyrique" art center in Paris****Exhibited at the "Game On" experimental videogames show in Buenos Aires**"If youre constantly disappointed by the knockoffs, cash-ins and "me-toos" of the App Store, then Nicolai Troshinskys Loop Raccord is the game for you." - TouchArcadeWatch a video trailer of the game at:http://vimeo.com/troshinsky/loopraccordLoop Raccord uses cinematographic language and video editing logic as gameplay. Players get into a flow as they gain mastery at this a simple, abstract task that is transformed into a compelling interactive experience.--Totally unique and never seen before game mechanic----With three game modes: Classic, Two Players and Neverending----Randomly generated levels offer infinite replayability----GameCenter leaderboards and achievements----featuring video clips form old American TV shows--Inspired by the work of Peter Greenaway and exploring traditional video editing techniques, Loop Raccord harkens back to the era of “interactive cinema” while at the same time introducing a unique and original way to interact with the film medium. Beyond its fun and engaging gameplay, players will learn basic video editing knowledge and will discover how to achieve a crucial but widely unknown cinema effect: the illusion of continuity."I don't even know what I'm looking at. Is it art? How is this even a game? Is it broken? Is it saying something revelatory? I have no idea what you've made or what you've accomplished here, but whatever the hell this is, you've succeeded." - Independent games festival judge Expand

    I've never played anything like it. In some ways a successful loop feels like a Rube Goldberg machine, where the momentum from one clip launches the next, over and over ad infinitum.

    Thanks to such an experimental nature, Loop Raccord takes more work to learn to love, but its arty nature makes it quite endearing for those who persevere. It’s great to see such original thinking emerge on the iPad.
