Clone Crisis: Grid Puzzle

What this is

A scientist built a machine that copies people. He tested it on himself, because of course he did. It ran four times and got it wrong three times, each in a different way - and now all four copies need to get home. The only person you can move is him.

Clone Crisis is a movement-based grid puzzle about thinking in opposites. Every step you take, the copies take one too, but each of them has its own idea of which direction to go. One follows you exactly. One swaps left and right. One swaps up and down. One does the reverse of everything. You never move a copy directly; you steer yourself and let the walls do the rest. A copy that walks into a wall stays put for a turn while the others keep going - which, more often than not, is the whole solution. Later on there are buttons and colored walls that open and shut mid-plan, and the trick becomes finding the one path for yourself that happens to be four correct paths for everyone else.

It all happens in a lab that never quite closes for the night; goofy-spooky, never scary. The whole board is always on screen - nothing scrolls, nothing hides, and nothing important is ever waiting behind you. There's no fail screen, no timer and no hearts. Restart is instant and free.

Forty-five levels, in three chapters that introduce the rules one at a time before asking you to hold all of them at once. No energy, no pay-to-win, and no ads landing on you every time you touch something.
