Holy crap! Now the only thing missing, is to have the platforms spinning super fast while you're trying to play...

I have a feeling this is going to start off a new "sport", something like speed rubric cubes, except it'll be speed echocrome.

Just don't know if it's considered speed because of the pace the guy walks at.

Concentrating.....concentrating....brain starting to hurt....must. push. through. brain really hurting....*BANG*

This looks like its gonna hurt.

MINDFUCK

I played the Japaneses Demo and I just didn't get law 2 &4 it was just killing my brain.

Will people who can't beat it blame it on the tilt function?

I'm back, phew, the guy sat next to me sprinkled me in Phoenix Down so I should be ok again now

And suddenly my interest in this skyrocketed!

Did CliffyB write this post?

+10 Charisma, super-hypey!

O-M-G! I thought the Japanese demo was on the easy side but HOLY SH*T. This is actually awesome because it means this game is going to have a lot of playtime and replay value as you try different ways of beating these harder levels. As a puzzle-game fanatic this just made my day.

Now you're thinking with port......perspectives.

O My Effing G. What fresh hell is this? That first one makes me want to bitchslap M.C. Escher.

Looks awesome! That 5th screenshot looks especially sinister.

I can't really tell what is 'Start' and what is 'Finish' in these levels though. Is there a place you are ultimately trying to get to? Maybe someone who has played the demo can explain?

Must buy

Pixel Junk Monsters and this are going to suck up all my free time......though Ill have to put them to rest when Fallout 3 comes out.

I CANNOT WAIT for the PSN release. This is going to be awesome.

The game looks incredible. A piece of art. The larger levels look harder, but not impossible, and, from my impression of the trailer, could prove to have fun and challenging puzzles like Portal.

I haven't figured out how to think upside down, sideways and horizontally yet. I beat Portal, and my head hurt, this will probably hurt more.

this has the potential to be puzzle GOTY. can't wait to get home and run the demo.

SWEET LORDY LORD!

it looks like a good game but good christ that looks hard, i wish this was available on other platforms, xbox arcade maybe?

@TitillatedOcelot: you know M.C. Escher is in his grave turning over and saying, "now the make a game inspired by my mad genious?

Shit man. I haven't seen something like this since high-school chemistry.

I'm going to torture myself silly with this game. The demo got me interested, this is going to get me addicted.

Holy shit... That is all I have to say...

It's like they took the MGObeta sign up and vetor traced it...

@Black-Dog-Howls: vector...

@zanzibarlegend: You can bet if I actually tried to slap him, he'd just run up a flight of stairs conveniently situated on the ceiling. Or was it the wall?

Arghh with this, Pixel Junk Monsters and MGS4: urge to buy PS3....OVERWHELMING.

@TitillatedOcelot:

You'd probably get arrested for bitchslapping a corpse, but there woulnt't be much running around the room with good old MC.

Considering the topic: I'll urge a friend to get this for his PS3 and if he declines I'll urge his girlfriend to urge him as well. I just want to play this game, it looks like a great new concept, but I don't want to buy a PS3 just for this game. :(

Mindboggling, yet fun to play.

@Vorpal: You have to walk through all of the, I can't remember what the demo calls them, "ghostly" figures; once you have one then another appears.

i played a leak of this on a friend's PSP, and i found it to be one of the most frustrating things i've tried in a while.

going through the gallery elicited an "oh my god!" and a "what the christ!?" from me..
I can't wait to get my hands on the full game

I'm suddenly not as enthused, but I am still a puzzle whore, and mental masochism is totally what I want to achieve.

Good Bye what little "Life" I had Echochrome has replaced you.
Been waiting for this a long time Curse my inability to import!

These levels also appear to look a lot cooler. It's like they drew up a map that would look cool and then figured out how they could make it hard at the same time. Levels that appear to be nothing until you turn it just the right way only to find out that the level looks like a huge dinosaur? Yes, please.

@Inhert: It's funny how a lot of people are finding these PSN games a better motivation to get the system than the $60 full release titles.

@Mienvard:

Second.

Amazing what can develop from the rule of "If I can't see it, it's not there!"

This game is going to prevent me from going stupid over the summer holidays. It might even make me intelligent? Dear God I hope not.

@xbandaidx:

you can make the guy run!

I think this will be one of those games that's so awesome no one plays it. Much like Okami. It looks like a niche game but it's really fun. I hope a lot of people get it.

OMG

I'm sold.

Wow, that looks intimidating, I want it now.

When I was playing the Japanese Demo I discovered that if you rotate the puzzle while your dude is jumping you can get him places you would think are impossible. So there are many "shortcuts" to this game. These levels are not even the user created ones.

It makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside that games like this are being released, I think the simple games can sometimes be the best ones, but this is simple with an ever developing puzzle elements that will surely hand my ass to me in a given amount of time. Still, the fact remains without a doubt, I can't wait to play this game.

@VixDiesel: I am going to bug my friends by banging on about Echocrome just like I did with okami.

@male roof blower (CFB): Well, the same thing happened w/ the 360, up until the point Gears came out and probably a little after too; for the longest time the $5 Geometry Wars was the best thing going for the system...

Not that it's a terrible trend, mind you. If they're releasing simple + interesting games while spending more resources and time on the big ones, at least you have something to do on that system. (this is in no way insulating the PS3 has nothing to play on it, ha)

hmm love a good challenge...but damn

Seeing these screenshots makes me not want this game anymore. I like a challenge but I'm too dumb for this.

Nice.

I find some levels just make you wanna say "xczviuykldfs!!!" but then you realize that no two points are neccesarily as far apart as they look and it's a matter of fiddling around until you make a connection. That, and the game is REALLY squishy - you can bridge some pieces I'm sure aren't meant for it (and fall between parts that are already connected! GRRR) and if all else fails you can fall off the edge then spin the level and land somewhere else.

I'm not as impressed as I thought I'd be, but it IS a really good, engaging, open-ended puzzle game. That's right - a puzzle game where you can solve it with whatever works for you but it's still challenging. Amazing.

@Vorpal:
In one mode, you walk around and collect humanoid shadows. In another you combine guys of the same color who are walking around at the same time. In the third mode there are also guys you must not touch or you get reset to... sometimes the section you were, sometimes elsewhere, but not where you're trying to get to. Personally I prefer the first mode by far but it's enough to carry the game anyway IMO.

You know... I was sold on the game, so much so that it was the first game I ordered on Japanese import. I'm certainly not new to gaming, but have always avoided modern imports.

Point is, the game gets a resounding MEH from me. I'm writing up my review for work and I'm giving it a 6/10 based on ingenuity of concept alone. It's really no where near as good as CRUSH and it doesn't go to the extremity of Escher's illusions.

The puzzles really aren't too hard if you use one simple trick. Have the man fall off the platform then quickly go to an overhead perspective whilst rotating the camera around an
