CloneUp: Stack Yourself

CloneUp: Stack Yourself is a pixel-art platformer where the only building material is you. Press the clone button and a copy of your character freezes in place, and copies can be stacked to make a step, a bridge over spikes, or a tower up to a ledge you cannot jump to. Every room becomes a small logic problem about how many clones you can spare and exactly where each one has to stand, because a clone dropped in the wrong tile is a step you no longer have.

This title is best suited to players who like platformers where thinking beats reflexes.

1. Move to the spot where a step would help and leave a clone there
2. Stack a second clone on the first to build height
3. Jump across your own bodies to clear spikes and gaps
4. Reach the exit door before you run out of clones

• Movement keys: Run left and right
• Jump key: Jump and land on a stacked clone
• Clone key: Leave a copy of yourself in place

Objectives

• Reach the exit door in each room
• Solve the gap or height problem with the clones you are given
• Keep a spare clone for the last stretch

The run ends or fails when

• Landing on spikes ends the attempt
• Running out of clones with the exit still out of reach

• Clone spawning as a placeable platform
• Vertical stacking for height
• Room-sized puzzles with a limited clone budget

• Walk the room first and count the jumps you cannot make unaided
• Place a clone at the lip of a gap, not in the middle of it
• If a room feels one clone short, look for a jump you can make without help
