Probably should have gone for a more original name. I was adding my itch.io collection to my gg.deals account and didn't find this one, but found another game by the name of "Ripple," which is just some puzzle game. For the two downloads, is the simple Ripple.zip just for the itch.io launcher?

Things I would suggest:

Key rebinding
When using echo, surrounding geometry should still be visible for a bit (or decay as you move). It can become very disorienting being in constant darkness, which causes you to have to echo more than normal
Toggle to hide in lockers instead of having to hold F
Severely dampen how far echo travels through walls. Currently, if you're in a room and there is a room next to it, enemies in the other room can still hear you if you use echo

Thank you for all the suggestions! If I continue work on the project for improvements will definitely take these into account. Especially rebinding as it's in all my current projects!

Enemies cannot seem to kill you while you are crouched :P

Edit: They can, but they generally have great difficulty doing so.

Interesting... probably an oversight on my collisions haha thank you for letting me know!

The official Itch.io launcher isn't able to install this, I can only install it manually with the zip.

This should now be fixed, thanks for letting me know!
