Okay, so let me start by saying that Overplay has major potential. I discover this app binge watching Shark Tank at 2am while content planning. The idea of turning your videos into interactive games is so unique and cool. I love how easy it is to add interactive elements like clickable choices and mini vrs games. It really makes your content feel fresh and engaging! 🎮✨ But... here's the thing. The app still has a few kinks to work out. 😬 It’s not always as smooth as I’d like, especially when I'm in the middle of editing. Plus, the customization options could be a bit more flexible – I want more control over design and transitions. Overall, Overplay is fun and definitely stands out, but it just needs a little more polish to reach its full potential. I’m excited to see where it goes, but for now, it’s a solid 4 stars from me. 💯

They should’ve made the app usable before shark tank aired lol.. this is a mess. Has no redeeming value at the moment, good luck but unless this can be worked on and overhauled into something actually playable, it seems like Mark made a mistake taking the deal even though it basically costs him nothing but time (they’re paying him back)

The concept might seem intriguing at first, but the execution leaves much to be desired. The app demonstrates strokes at precise moments during the tutorial, but that's not how they work in real video games. This approach is reminiscent of time-based prompts seen in Telltale games and other action cutscenes. However, adding prompts to an ongoing video distracts from the experience plus how are we supposed to predict movement. A more engaging alternative would be a path-based outcome interaction. Imagine reaching the end of a video and choosing an outcome that directs you to another video reflecting your choice. This would make much more sense and enhance the interactive experience far better than the current execution. Like an interactive story. Overall, while the app aims to add an interactive layer to video content, it ends up taking away from the experience rather than enhancing it. A rethink of the core interaction model could make it far more appealing and effective.
