 love the idea. there is so much potential. I would love to see you expand on it!

However, I often felt out of control, not knowing when the time runs out or when the level restarts and the timer automatically starts running. The timer could have a progress bar - strong visual and audio feedback.
I also thought about a timer that only runs while you're moving?! You could let the player hold a button to let time pass while standing still - this would give the player more control shifting the focus more on the puzzle rather on a speedrun.

Really cool game! Let me know if you keep developing it!

Really great job! I loved the little echoes and using them to progress, well done on the animations and sound effects as well. Congrats! :)

Creative concept. I like that it does not just mimics my move, but it spends more time to echo! You can go further with this idea!

Amazing game, good job

I love the concept and it's a very fun game to play. I was only able to reach the third level (the one with the red door blocking the two buttons for the blue door), but I liked it nonetheless.

Very cool concept, I like echo puzzles in other games and having to plan out the order that you place them (since you run out of more time with each echo) makes the puzzles a lot harder. I think a nice feature would be if your echo stays in its final position once you hit the "e" key for the remainder of the timer.

Thank you for your suggestions!

It took a while for me to understand that time ran quicker the more echoes you had, this really added a nice twist and balancing to the game. Good game!

One of the better implementations of this idea I've seen

It’s not just a game where you create a clone that mimics your movements; adding a time limit brings a fresh twist. Great job.

Amazing game, really nice idea! Took me a second to figure out to re-use the same echo for multiple buttons haha! Love it!

Great concept, really enjoyed it.

Very interesting mechanic! The levels are really challenging — I already got stuck on the third level, haha. I think some kind of tips for each level would be an absolutely useful resource for this game. Anyway, good entry, and congrats on the submission!

Thank you so much for the kind words! Haha yeah, the difficulty curve on level 3 can be a bit steep! Adding level-by-level hints/tips is a great idea—I’ll definitely look into adding that in an update. Thanks for playing and for the awesome feedback!

It's challenging to estimate the right timing. but really fun once i got it.
