This game is SO FREAKING POLISHED. I really liked it. Literally everything was awesome. The title screen alone is so sick. Great job!

I didn't find the game to be that hard once I figured out the mechanics lol

The art style is so good. I like how tiny the player is.

(And the music goes so hard, too :D)

Super polished game, cute sound and visual effects, overall challenging,

This is SUPER polished!! It feels like a demo to a complete game, which is really really good for a game jam entry.

I accidentally found some cheese really early on though that made the difficulty of the game really trivial, though. If you jump and then press z -> x in quick succession, you can functionally create infinite platforms for yourself and ascend upwards anywhere. If this cheese was addressed somehow, I could totally see this being converted into a full 1hr experience or something if there were more levels :)

When you pause the game you can still jump, and create/destroy echoes, you just can't move.

If you press fast enough z-->x-->z like, really quick you can actually have 1 extra echo.

<--Chilling with my three bros.

Great game with awesome music and art.

That was really clean, and the art was gorgeous, I always love small character in pixel environment, it fits so well! The character feels reactive, the jump is nicely done, and having to time your echoes precisely makes it the right amount of challenge, well done for that. Really nice entry overall, that was a refreshing adventure

I liked it ! The art is good (even if everything is a bit tiny) and the mechanic is interesting and works well. The player controls does feels a bit harsh sometimes, the jumps are pretty unforgiving

This was great! I actually kind of wish there was more. This is insanely well polished in just three days, the platforming felt goof and the art looked great.
I will say though, I don't know if this is intended but you can definitely get infinite vertical height by quickly pressing jump, z, then x in that order repeatedly. It makes creating puzzles for this game quite difficult since the player can move vertically any amount with no need for platforms.  

it is a bit tedious to wait for your clones to disappear once you messed up, but other than that, is a very cool game! I liked the music too

I really enjoyed playing this one!

The music and particle effects add a lot of life and colour to the game, and my only constructive feedback would be to balance the difficulty a bit. Some parts of the game were too easily handled by just jumping on the echoes while other bits had slightly longer sequences to replicate if you missed a jump. 

Just a bit more polish and this could be a shippable little gem!

I loved the art, it reminded me so much of risk of rain 1, the character controller fast, but thats probably good. again, the art is amazing.
you do have a gameplay issue as you can get infinitely high with two echoes, i completely skipped the "moving platforms" thing by just jumping on the two echoes

I genuinely enjoyed this game! It fits the theme exceptionally well and showcases a high level of polish. The game's originality and well-executed mechanics were impressive. I particularly loved the art style, with its stylized simplicity that was executed superbly. The music choice was also a great fit and added to the overall experience! :D

However, if I were to offer some constructive criticism, my main concern lies in the game's difficulty balance. On one hand, there are challenging aspects, such as the moving platforms, which could have been tweaked further for a smoother experience. Then on the other hand, due to the lack of a cooldown for spawning echo characters, it becomes quite easy to exploit the game mechanics. Once you acquire two echoes, it becomes a matter of cheesing the game rather than engaging in enjoyable and challenging gameplay. I strongly feel that some adjustments should be considered to address this issue. For example, implementing a cooldown between echo spawns or introducing a punishment system for excessive echo usage within a level. I understand that finding the right balance can be tricky, but based on the quality of this game alone, I have confidence that you can tackle this challenge!

Overall, I had a pretty good time playing this game. While it has some flaws and kinks that need to be addressed, it's a solid little short platformer, good job!

I enjoyed it, it was very original but i just think that the gameplay is a little boring, maybe its just for me because i dont play that much of platform game but yeah overall i enjoyed it.

btw you can skip moving platforms by just doing the echos to climb up, u maybe shouldve put a roof

Difficulty wise, I found the moving platforms part a little too hard, maybe you could tweak it a bit. Other than that, the difficulty was pretty good. I think the art style was good. Btw, I think the game could benefit from adding some coyote time.
