CORE MECHANICS
WHAT MAKES TIME ECHO DIFFERENT
⏺️
RECORD & REPLAY
Hit E to record your movements. Release, and a ghost clone — your Time Echo — repeats every input you made, from the exact spot you started.
👥
3 SIMULTANEOUS ECHOES
Spawn up to 3 echoes at once. Use one to hold a switch, another to step on a pressure plate, while you navigate the puzzle yourself.
👾
ENEMIES THAT REACT TO TIME
Echo Wisps corrupt your recordings. Chrono Sentinels rewind themselves when hit by echoes. Paradox Beasts copy your echoes as weapons.
🌋
LAVA-FILLED LEVELS
No safe ground runs. Lava pits, crumbling platforms, ice floors, laser grids — every level demands precision and planning.
🌙
NIGHT LEVELS
In dark levels, your character glows — a beacon of light in the void. Void Shades turn invisible when you stop recording. Stay aware.

5 ENEMY TYPES, ZERO MERCY
🫧
ECHO WISP
Floats in figure-8 patterns. Touch it while recording and it corrupts your echo with random, chaotic inputs.
⚠ RECORD KILLER
🤖
CHRONO SENTINEL
Patrols methodically. Hit it with your echo and it rewinds 3 seconds. After 3 rewinds — it enrages and doubles speed.
⏪ REWIND MECHANIC
👿
PARADOX BEAST
Obsessed with you. Every 7 seconds it clones your last echo as a mirror-image hostile — and sends it straight at you.
🪞 ECHO STEALER
🫧
TEMPORAL SLIME
Jumps unpredictably. Hit it with an echo and it splits into 2 faster, angrier smaller slimes. Kill the small ones too.
💥 SPLITS ON HIT
👤
VOID SHADE
Becomes INVISIBLE the moment you stop recording. It stalks you silently, then charges. Stay recording to see it. Risky choice.
👻 ONLY VISIBLE WHEN RECORDING

HOW TO PLAY
Master the echo system in 5 steps. It's simple to learn, brutally deep to master.
01
MOVE YOUR ECHONAUT
Use A/D or Arrow Keys to move. W, Space, or Up Arrow to jump. Your character — the Echonaut — is agile but fragile. One hit from lava, spikes, or enemies ends your run.
TIP: You can hold a higher jump with W or Space held down.
02
PRESS E TO START RECORDING
Hit E and a red REC indicator appears. Every movement and jump you make is recorded for up to 6 seconds. Move to the position that needs to be held — a switch, a pressure plate, a gap.
TIP: Your echo spawns FROM WHERE YOU STARTED recording — plan your starting position carefully!
03
PRESS E AGAIN — SPAWN YOUR ECHO
Press E to stop recording. A glowing Time Echo spawns at your recording start point and replays every input you made, on a loop. It's you — but from the past.
TIP: Echoes loop indefinitely until the level ends or they die. Make short, efficient recordings.
04
COORDINATE UP TO 3 ECHOES
You can have 3 echoes active simultaneously. Echo 1 holds the first switch. Echo 2 steps on the pressure plate. You run through the now-open doors and hit the goal.
TIP: A 4th recording replaces the oldest echo. Use this to reposition echo support.
05
REACH THE PORTAL — WIN
A glowing portal marks your goal. Reach it to complete the level. Your score is calculated from time, echoes used, and coins collected. Submit to the global leaderboard!
Floats in figure-8 patterns. Touching it while recording corrupts your echo with random inputs. Appears from Level 3.
🤖
CHRONO SENTINEL
Methodical patrol. Hit it with an echo and it rewinds 3 seconds. After 3 rewinds, it enrages — moves 80% faster. Appears from Level 5.
👿
PARADOX BEAST
Mirrors your last echo as a hostile clone every 7 seconds. Lure its anti-echo onto spikes to destroy both the clone AND the beast. Level 9+.
🟢
TEMPORAL SLIME
Bounces and jumps. Hit with an echo → splits into 2 faster slimes. Finish the small ones too. Found from Level 4.
👤
VOID SHADE
Goes INVISIBLE when you stop recording. Charges you from the dark. Stay recording to see it — but that limits your echoes. Level 9+.

ABOUT TIME ECHO
A handcrafted, passion-built puzzle platformer made with pure HTML5 canvas — no engines, no frameworks, no dependencies. Just code, creativity, and way too many lava pits.
THE IDEA
What if you could literally work with your past self? Time Echo takes that premise and builds 20 levels around it — each one a puzzle that demands you think in parallel timelines.
The echo system started as a simple mechanic and evolved into something that completely changes how you think about platformers. Every level is a brain-teaser first, an action game second.
BUILT WITH
Pure HTML5 Canvas — no game engine. Every pixel is drawn with the Canvas 2D API. All audio is procedurally generated with the Web Audio API — no sound files, just math.
The backend uses Supabase for accounts and the global leaderboard. Everything else runs 100% client-side. Open destini.html and play. That simple.
LEVEL DESIGN
10 hand-crafted campaign levels, each introducing a new mechanic or enemy. Followed by 10 more generated with hand-tuned seeds — harder, faster, stranger.
Endless mode and Daily Challenge use a seeded generator that builds fresh levels — with guaranteed reachability between every platform. No impossible jumps.
FUTURE
Friends system, profile pages with full stats, mobile gesture controls, more pets, more outfits, a level editor, and multiplayer echo coordination — all on the roadmap.
