Play Acme Animation Factory Online

ACME Animation Factory came out for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System in 1994, published by Sunsoft. It was part of that wave of games that tried to do something different with the hardware, focusing on creativity rather than just running and jumping. You don't see many titles like it, even from that era.

You control a little character in a side scrolling workshop, and your main goal is to create your own short cartoons. The core of the game is collecting different animation cels and backgrounds, then assembling them in a film editor. You run through platforming stages to find these items, avoiding enemies and obstacles along the way. Once you have what you need, you piece the scenes together, deciding the order and timing to make a complete movie. The platforming parts are straightforward, not too difficult, which keeps the focus on the creative side. It feels like you are building something unique from the parts you gather.
