Level 15 hard
Edit:I did it!
This was made with stencyl. i tried that engine and i hated it. It feels like this was made with game maker studio or click team.

Aha Stencyl is great once you get the hang of it. You should look at some of AdventureIslands' games
Overall, pretty good. Took a simple idea and managed to expand upon it. The way you're able to literally build upon the idea of the clones makes for some interesting scenarios, though I think having so many elements to control vs so few possible actions can lead to situations of trial and error over considering your options.
Whilst the core idea does hold some potential, it does bring in the issue of being able to simply "mash buttons to win" which was my strategy for the final level (bar the boss) which suffered from a large difficulty brick wall IMO. All in all I didn't have too much problem beating any level and when I did I found it so overwhelming that button mashing was just the better option.
Still, I can say that I understood each of the mechanics, though rather than constantly increasing the difficulty and adding new mechanics, perhaps introducing the mechanics, doing some puzzles with them and then introducing new ones plus toning down the difficulty would be a better way to handle the interest curve.
It was nice to see an actual boss in this sort of game as I think it's rare to see more puzzle bosses. I do think it could still be improved, perhaps if it somehow better fit with the core mechanics, the whole "shoots out timed bullets" thing didn't really pose any challenge nor did it compliment the existing challenge so something that affected the puzzle might have worked better; perhaps turn blocks on or off to block/reflect projectiles or something of the sort. Also if after you damage the boss the first time there's some kind of twist that changes up the puzzle slightly I think this would have made it feel more climatic, though having it fire more often was nice at least.
I am stuck at level 13, gg
