Pitched as the PlayStation 3 game with "the least graphics and the most gameplay," echochrome lets players guide an animated artist mannequin through a blocky construct, picking up "echoes" via Escher-esque perspective bending.

Anxious to get your hands on the perspective-bending puzzler echochrome for the PlayStation 3 and PSP? At the official PlayStation Blog, the game's associate producer Kumi Yuasa has just announced that the demo for the game will be available tomorrow via the PlayStation Store on the PS3, with the PSP demo also available on the PC version of the store. The demo will only take you through a brief tutorial, but Yuasa is excited about what's in store for us once the game releases.
On PS3, you can upload your created levels to the developers through the game's interface. Once uploaded, your creation will be considered by the developers for a future downloadable content release.
User created levels from Japan and Asia will be available from day one, with US players' creations folded into the mix at a later date. Check out the new video up top for a glimpse at how the game will change the way you look at everything. More »

North Americans will see the PSP arrive as a digital download only. While that may not sit well with some gamers, a title like echochrome would have very little chance of success at retail, with its intentionally simple aesthetic and potentially cheaper PlayStation 3 counterpart.

Echochrome and Wipeout HD haven't been lacking in exposure, but MTV's Stephen Totilo goes hands-on with two more PSN originals, Elefunk and PixelJunk Monsters Encore to get a handle on what's next for the Store.

It certainly doesn't look like anything else on the PLAYSTATION 3, but it reminds us of minimal previous PlayStation gems like Intelligent Qube and Vib-Ribbon. Of everything that SCEA showed at yesterday's E3 conference, this PlayStation Network downloadable was the most striking thing I recall.
