Snapshot Coming to Steam Shortly, PS3 This Summer

Posted on by Mike Wall in News, PC News, PSN News, XBLA News | Leave a comment

Retro Affect’s long-in-development Snapshot will be released on Steam “very soon,” according to lead programmer David Carrigg. In a video interview with Pixabyte, Carrigg said that the photo-themeed puzzle-platformer will be released before summer on PC, and most likely Linux and Mac. It will also be released on PS3 later this summer, and “future consoles in addition to that.”

Snapshot lets you play as PIC, a robot that has the ability to remove objects from the environment with its camera and store them for use in other areas. You can check out our full impressions from last year’s PAX East.
