The controls for the game are simple, as players can run, float, take bows, and use the umbrella as a weapon. A little more advanced, however, players will also have a trigger that can record your moves when held and have the moves played back as a loop when the trigger is released. At any time during the playback of the looped stage a player can interact with the reproduced character, as this will mesh to become the basis for successfully completing levels. Controls for the game can be rehearsed by players within the games Sandbox mode.
In the games missions, however, the trigger for capturing the characters movement found in the Sandbox mode are replaced by two different portals. When a blue portal is discovered within a level it will act similarly to the trigger within the Sandbox mode, as a replica of yourself will repeat your actions after you step into the second portal to stop recording. Red portals act alike the blue ones, however, unlike with blue portals, if these replicas are to be touched your main character will perish.

Inspiration
Matt Korba, lead producer and designer for the game, has said to get the main inspiration for the game from the 1983 Best Animated Short Oscar winner Tango by Zbigniew Rybczynski, which was first shown to him by one of his university professors. The macabre silent film approach to the game has to relate with Korba's passion for film, as he studied film production as his undergraduate.
