Copycat

COPY CAT · SHADOW RACE v1.0 (under development) is a fast, pure platforming race against a recording of yourself. The maps are short, dense, and re-playable. Platforms, spikes, floating platforms, and collectible echoes are seeded so every race feels familiar yet slightly different. More game modes and ideas for shadow mechanics coming soon.
