echoshift is a spin-off of echochrome, but while the original had the player distorting space to create pathways through optical illusions, this is replaced by the time bounce mechanic, which are small sections of time repeating themselves over and over again.
This time around levels take place in a 2D side-scrolling environment, as opposed to the original's 3D spaces, and each level has a timer imposed on it, its length varying around 30 to 50 seconds. The objective is still reaching the end of the level, overcoming with the help of the time bounces: each time the timer runs out, the player is placed back at the start of the level, but shadows will also appear, which carry out actions performed by the player in the past.
