Fun game, but gave up when the puzzles got too complicated.

Nice game to play, but there were a couple of stumper puzzles that had me stuck for a while. I like puzzle platformers, but If you don't like challenging puzzles, maybe skip this one.

Didn't enjoy it.

It's firmly in the genre of puzzle platformer, but the gimmick of making copies of yourself and switching between them mixed with great visuals and storytelling elevate this to a real experience worth sinking time into.
