ECHO
Leave solid copies of yourself behind — then leap off them. Echo is a precision puzzle-platformer: place echoes to build your path, dash through lasers, and outsmart every room. No story, no filler — just you, your echoes, and the next challenge.

10 itemsAbout the Game
A precision platformer built around one rule: you leave echoes of yourself behind.
Place an echo mid-jump — it becomes solid. A platform. A shield. A bridge. You carry three at a time. Every placement is a decision; every deletion, a second chance.
One mechanic. Infinite depth.
How it works
Your echoes aren't decorations — they're tools. Ride them, jump off them, block lasers with them, bridge a gap and delete it behind you as you fall. The same three echoes that feel simple in level one will demand everything from you by level twenty-five.
No shortcuts. No hand-holding. Just the mechanic, and you.
Die. Learn. Own it.
Instant respawn. No checkpoints to soften the blow, no filler to pad the time.
Hazards compound as you progress — spikes, sweeping lasers, patrolling enemies, turrets, vanishing floors, moving platforms. Each one teaches you something. Each death is data.
You'll fail a run that felt impossible, then clear it on muscle memory alone. That's ECHO.
