Echoshift is a spin-off of echochrome, with a new time bounce mechanic replacing the space distorting ability from the original. This allows for small sections of time to repeat themselves, creating a unique gameplay experience.
The game takes place in 2D side-scrolling environments, with levels having timers ranging from 30 to 50 seconds. The objective remains the same: reach the end of each level by utilizing the time bounces. When the timer expires, the player is sent back to the start, but shadows will also appear, carrying out actions performed in the past.
