Really cool idea to have the echoes help you. It made dying not so frustrating!

Good idea, but I had trouble understanding why echoes disapeared. I don't know if there's a limit in the number of echoes you can have or if they are destroyed because the ennemies took another path, or both. It becomes difficult very early. Maybe make the first levels easier to help the player understanding the mechanics better.

Good job making this yourself !

Nice concept! Not sure if it’s bug or something I didn’t understand well, but sometimes echoes did not appear at all, sometimes they appeared but did not attack and got killed right away, making it impossible to progress. Love the idea tho, good job!

Thanks for review!
They usually disappear only after they've completed path of the player or they've collided with enemy, my bad that i didn't provide enough feedback to the player :(

Awesome idea to have these echoes help you clear levels. I always like the replicate movement concept. It was very fun to optimize the echoes to clear a level. I may be incorrect, but it feels like the echoes sometimes don't fully replicate my past actions. Anyway, the graphics are simple and clear. The audio gives nice feedback and the controls are good too. Great job!

The game is very fun and engaging, the only thing I would add is more random ammo drop, because lots of times you are left with nothing to do but die, and then repeat but still not able to kill the triangles. Maybe it's part of the loop design but still was very fun to play!

The game is really nice and creative. Especially when the enemy gets very close while turning around , that made me quite nervous, haha! The sounds and design are also very well done. Great job!

Pretty good, I guess. IDK what else to say.

fun concept, i did find it quite challenging but the movement was very smooth and i liked the pacing, great job!

I love how my echoes can both attack enemies and draw their fire! The ammo limit was a bit annoying, but it did add the intriguing puzzle element of luring enemies into the line of fire! I do wonder how it would feel if there was unlimited ammo but more enemies?

Even tough graphics are not the best, the mechanic of the echoes it's pretty original and allows making some strats and I ended up enjoying it a lot. Also i don't know if this is a feature, but if you get stucked in one loop and can't take all the enemies, you can kill yourself at the start of each loop without shooting to let your future self more bullets, pretty smart. Great addition the endless mode, it realy fits

Thank you!
Yeah, that a feature , you can have up to 4 ammo pickups for strategic purposes

Only 6 bullets seems hard. I don't think I ever made it past the first enemy. 

Developer

Thank you for playing.

Starting limitation of 6 bullet is specifically made , so player can experience the first death and discover the echo  ( so now he have 12 bullets )
