Echo's Trial is a 2D puzzle platformer where the player controls a silent, shadowy figure traversing a dark, industrial world. Each level presents spatial and logic-based challenges using simple mechanics like pressure plates, movable blocks, switches, and one-use platforms. The game focuses on environmental interaction and minimalistic storytelling through environmental cues. It’s designed to feel meditative and rewarding without relying on combat.

A beautiful looking game that does indeed get the level of challenge just right for the meditative style you were going for. The controls are a little floaty and I would have loved more levels making use of the various puzzle elements you did so well to implement (switches, pressure plates etc). I enjoyed this one and would encourage to add more levels since you've made such a great start on the levels that you do have :)
