About the game

ECHOPLEX is a time-bending puzzle platformer with a full-motion video story. Trapped in a mysterious looping simulation, you are followed by an “Echo” -- a duplicate of yourself who repeats everything you do. Each level contains a memory fragment that reveals more of the story — but to reach it, you must outsmart your Echoes in ever more challenging ways.

At first, I got the game, and was really interested by the whole concept and gameplay. I continued to enjoy it until the 10th level, where drones are introduced, and suddenly, the mechanics of the game change. With puzzle games, I should be able to use logic to complete tasks, but the drones practically rely on chance, and for me, they never do what they're meant to do. On top of that, one single hit from these…
