FrameRight makes the animation timeline itself the puzzle board. Move frames up or down to change their layer and left or right to change their timing, then play the sequence to see whether the character clears the obstacles.
What is FrameRight?
Instead of steering a character directly, you edit the sequence that controls what happens. Vertical dragging decides which action sits on which layer, while horizontal dragging changes when each frame occurs. Pressing DONE turns the arrangement into a tiny performance: if the timing or stack is wrong, return to the timeline and revise it. That loop gives the prototype a neat stop-motion quality, with every failed run exposing a specific relationship to adjust. The bilingual instructions are brief, and the listed session length of a few minutes matches its focused jam-game scale.
What you can do there
- Drag frames vertically to change layers
- Drag frames horizontally to change timing
- Play the arrangement
- Return to editing after a failed attempt
Why we picked it
The central trick is both unusual and easy to describe: solve an obstacle course by editing its animation rather than controlling the runner. It rewards observation and iteration, lets mistakes become useful feedback, and packs a recognizable animation concept into a very small browser puzzle.
How to get the most from it
Drag a frame vertically when its action needs a different layer, and move it horizontally when the event should happen earlier or later. Press DONE to watch the result. If the character does not cross the screen, return to the same arrangement and change one relationship at a time.
Good to know
FrameRight is labeled as a prototype and was submitted to Instal Jam in 2020. The page lists mouse, touchscreen, and smartphone controls, plus English and Brazilian Portuguese instructions. Its code is marked Unlicense and its assets CC0, with a source archive available; the archive and live game were not opened during this review.
