Snapshot Zooms onto PS3 and Vita This Fall

Someone stop the flow of fresh Vita announcements, we’re worried there’s going to be a flood soon. Retro Affect is the latest studio to take to the PlayStation Blog and announce a new cross-platform title for Sony’s family of consoles, confirming that the quirky puzzle platformer Snapshot is set to distort reality on PS3 and Vita this fall.

The downloadable puts you in control of Pic, a robot armed with a high-tech camera that can “capture and remove objects from the environment”. Once you’ve snapped an object, you can paste it back into the environment, allowing you to conquer all manner of clever puzzles demonstrated in the trailer below.

While early puzzles will see you moving blocks around the world in typical puzzle platformer tradition, the game promises to get much more complex as you progress. For example, one puzzle challenges you to snap an image of light source in order to illuminate a darkened hallway. You can even capture the momentum and physics of an object, allowing you to alter its trajectory.

The game’s due out this fall on PlayStation 3 and Vita, with full cross-platform functionality.
