'''''Ditto''''', also formatted as '''''DITTO''''', is a puzzle, platformer game released on March 26th, [[2014]]<ref name="flashDate">{{Citation|type=blog|link=https://www.nitrome.com/blog/articles/1044/|title=Play Ditto|publisheddate=26 March 2014|retrieveddate=4 September 2024}}</ref> by [[Nitrome]]. It is the first game to deliberately not include a level select screen. Consequently, players can only return to previous levels by starting again from the beginning after selecting "Reset Saved Data" on the [[Options|options menu]]. The game was made a [[Distributable games|distributable game]] some time before March 16th, [[2014]] <ref name="distribDate">{{Citation|type=other|link=https://web.archive.org/web/20141216083921/http://www.nitrome.com/distribution/|title=Free Nitrome Games for Website Distribution|name=Internet Archive Wayback Machine|excerpt=|publisheddate=16 December 2014|retrieveddate=13 August 2024}}</ref>, and it was [[Nitrome Touchy]] compatible at launch.

The player controls a [[girl|female protagonist]] who traverses levels by solving mirror based puzzles.

==Gameplay==
The player simultaneously controls the protagonist and her reflection, which performs the mirror image of her actions. The player must control the character in such a way that neither she nor the reflection is killed. The character is also capable of gliding, which slows down her downward motion without affecting her horizontal movement.

The reflection will only appear when the girl is both in sight of and in line with a mirror. Rather than just mimicking the actions of the player, the reflection will copy the player's relative position in relation to the mirror (i.e. the girl can stand on a block that exists only on her side of the mirror and thereby cause the reflection to stand midair). Interestingly, vice versa works as well, as obstacles in the reflections world will prevent the girl from moving as well. In essence, the girl and her reflection must always be in the exact same relative position, and, as both can interact with objects specific to their own dimensions, movement that would otherwise be physically impossible often occurs. When the girl is in line with more than one mirror at the same time, multiple reflections will appear.

==Levels==
The "Levels" section can include an opening description with more detail of gameplay, if you feel the opening sentence is too vague. It may also be a good idea to write how many levels there are in this section as well as any bonus levels that the player may encounter.

Follow up with each level in level 3 headings (surrounded by three equal signs instead of two). Sometimes individual levels will be given their own names; you can use the given name as the heading title after writing the number which the level is.

If the game has no official name for each of the levels, name each heading "Level" followed by the number the proceeding words will describe about. For instance, when writing about the third level of a certain game, "Level 3" would be the heading title given before going into detail about Level 3.

Depending on the game, it is best to include screenshots or a video walkthrough of the level, as pictures can definitely speak where words can't quite come to mind, and they provide viewers with better insight into what goes on in the level. If providing these images or video, it is not necessary to go into so much detail about the individual level itself, as players can view the video rather than reading five detailed, wordy paragraphs. Mentioning the key objects or other items introduced in the game, plus a brief outline, will usually do the trick.

*'''Example level headings:'''

===Level 1===
Level 1 text goes here.

===Level 2===
Description of Level 2.

===Level 3===
What's new in level 3?

===Ending===
{{spoiler|Finally, after going through the levels section, the game's end screen can be described here, covered by the spoiler template! You can also link an image, or video (if animation) of the ending after this, like as done with the template link.}}

==Levels==
{{Incomplete}}
===Menu===
The letters and buttons on the title screen fade away, leaving the main character and her silhouette lying underneath a pillar of white gradient light. The girl wakes, shaking several water droplets off of her body. The player is then given control. Using the arrow keys, the protagonist can move around the area, and must be moved to the door on the player's right in order to proceed.

{{Vid|koGn4Gk_2gY}}

===Level 1===
As the protagonist enters the next room, vertical bars block off the previous room behind her, and the player can hear her gasp for the first time. When she starts walking to the player's right, her shadow will enter from the left, but disappear as she jumps over the thin orange column. After jumping, the main character can continue walking in the same direction until she reaches the door.

{{Vid|Q5Z9Zbqg68U}}

===Level 2===
Water is present in this level, and causes the player to restart if the girl touches it. Her silhouette is a reflection on the horizontal axis, and no obstacles appear to be in its way upon starting.

After crossing three individual platforms above water, the view of the platforms switches over to the shadow, where a platform is visible from its perspective. Both characters need to jump over a higher platform in the silhouette's view, then land on a lower platform in the girl's view. The next two platforms alternate between the girl and her shadow's perspective until the door is reached.

===Level 3===
A staircase is within the player's view, with a couple of spikes on the third step. A gem can be seen floating next to the staircase, and the player can have the girl jump from any step beyond the spikes to pick it up. A long orange platform is seen, and an upside down staircase with the same number of steps and spike placement are seen within the shadow's perspective. The second encountered gem is found above the staircase in a similar fashion to that of the first gem, except it remains stationary and can only be collected by the shadow. After climbing the second staircase, the girl can now enter through the door.

{{Vid|hg9vF_L5avU}}

===Level 4===
This level introduces the floating jump, which is necessary to make it across the gap filled with water. A gem can be seen moving in a rectangular clockwise motion. By pressing and holding the jump button while in midair, the player can slow the girl's falling motion to maximize their horizontal movement. If the girl falls into the water, a thought bubble appears over the girl upon her respawning, demonstrating the floating jump. She should be able to land on the next platform, which has the exit.

{{Vid|ifi1NCuICbc}}

===Level 5===
The entire level is set on top of a mirror, with the shadow's end being completely covered in spikes; thus, the only platforms that the girl can stand on are on her end of the mirror. To the left of the player is a gem that only the shadow can get, and a small block for the girl to safely land on right under it. After a wide jump that requires the glide, the player will find another gem on the shadow's end, being quite lower than the first one. To get it, the player must glide the girl to the right platform's ledge, collecting the gem on the way to it; the girl must then make her way back to the previous platform with a precise jump. After a couple of wide jumps, the girl must glide to the right and then turn back once the final gem is reached, leading the girl to the exit.

===Level 6===
The level consists of an inverted-S shaped pathway riddled with spikes and three gems that move horizontally between these. The girl must use the glide, collecting the gems on the way down, in order to reach the exit.

===Ending===
{{Spoiler|
The girl walks into a room that ends in steps leading up to the surface. Awed by the shaft of light coming down from the outside world, she stands transfixed looking up into it. While she is still looking upwards, her reflection in the mirror surreptitiously slinks forward a few steps. The girl notices in shock, and watches as her reflection jumps up through the mirror and stands face-to-face with her. The girl leans forward in disbelief to inspect her reflection, who copies this motion. The girl recoils with a gasp.

The reflection then begins to climb up towards the exit. After a brief moment of delay, the girl tries to pursue the reflection, but trips when approaching the first block. As she raises her head to get up, the light wavers and then vanishes with a heavy slamming sound as she shakes her head in horror.

Her head hanging low, the girl gets back up, sobbing. Suddenly, she becomes rigid as a strange series of sounds is heard. She screams a prolonged "No!" and shakes her head in terror as the color drains from her body, leaving only a white outline, which is transferred to the other side of the mirror in a vertical wipe from head to toe, leaving her cape behind. She reappears on the opposite side as an orange outline identical to her escaped reflection, and her scream is heard played backwards. 

Now on the opposite side of the mirror, she glances around as if in confusion. She flinches as she hears a scream identical to that at the beginning of the game. She exits from the left side of the screen, following the sound.

She then ends up in the room she first landed in and sees a girl just like her old self, white with a red cape, lying on the ground unconscious the same way she was at the start of the game. The orange outline reflection of the girl goes up to where the body's reflection would be, looks around as if afraid that someone is watching and lies on the ground, trying to be a mirror image of the body. Having laid down little too far to the left, she scoots herself headfirst, then turns her head to glance at her opposite. Apparently satisfied, she slowly lays her head back and is still, seemingly no more than a reflection of the girl above her.

The word "Ditto", both regular and inverted, then appears, followed by the "credits", "play" and "High Scores" buttons, and the player is on the title screen once more, exactly as they started.

==Trivia==
*Although the game's name "Ditto" was named after the use of mirrors, many [[Nitromians]] thought it was a reference to the Pokémon [[bulbapedia:Ditto (Pokémon)|Ditto]], although this was proven false by Nitrome on multiple occasions.<ref>{{Citation|type=facebook|link=https://www.facebook.com/Nitrome/photos/a.417178241593.192713.208901711593/10151927370041594/?type=1&reply_comment_id=10622679&total_comments=1|title=Comment by Nitrome|name=|excerpt=|publisheddate=26 March 2014|retrieveddate=28 March 2014}}</ref>
