About Copycat

You jump through short, dense platforming maps in a race against your own shadow. Platforms, spikes, floating ledges, and collectible echoes are seeded for each race, so a map feels familiar but shifts a little every time you play it.

Space bar or a click makes you jump, and a second press gives you a double jump with a barrel-roll and particle trail. You can grab onto edges, and jump buffering forgives presses that come slightly early.

Echoes you collect feed into your final time. Ghost data is saved between sessions, and local stats track wins, losses, your streak, and your best time. Restarting is instant, with no menus in between.

The look is strict black and white, drawn in a one-bit style with scanlines and light motion. It runs as a single HTML file on a 1200x600 canvas, with sound effects from Web Audio and multi-touch handling for phones. The creator lists it as under development, with more modes and shadow mechanics planned.
