Echochrome demo puzzles North American PSN tomorrow

Looks Escher-iffic!

I still need to figure out how to get my PS3's wifi to work. UGH.

this reminds me of a dream i used to always have. i will try it out

Honestly, looks like it would get frustrating very quickly and have little to no replay value. I could be wrong, but that's just my impression based on the videos I've seen. Shame too, since the PSP (to which it's being ported also) could really use another good puzzler. Lumines can not be played forever.

Definitely checking this out. Looks like a lot of fun.

I wish I had a PSP so I could play this game.

I played this on a friend's PSP and it is totally bitchin'. Definitely a must buy whenever I get a PSP.

This game looks great, fresh and original. I love the titles psn store is getting, can't WAIT for wipeoutHD.

I bought this from Asian PSN, the control is more comfortable than the PSP version. The game is quite difficult, I got stuck even in early stages. And some mechanics don't work very well, like that linking two blocks together requires very accurate positioning. But it's very good for killing brain cells:)

This is one of those games that I just don't get what the hype is about. Looks like something someone drew in paint(software version) to me! Anyway I guess whatever floats your boat.

It was the game I picked up with my PSP in Japan (menus are in Japanese, voice over is in English for those that can't speak Japanese so there's no issues with navigation or gameplay).

There are 12 "rows" of puzzles (A - L) with 8 puzzles per row. That's (obviously) 96 "levels".

Now, each level you can play on "Solo", "Pair" and "Other".

Solo - you direct your guy/gal around the "maze" picking up the echoes. Easiest.

Pair - two white and two black guys/gals. Got to get them both to meet. They produce a "grey" person each. Match them. BINGO!

Other - this is a trickier version of "Pair". It's the same concept but the white guys can't touch the black ones or they'll be reset. Lots of strategic thinking of putting one guy on a level out of reach from the other and moving them around in a paricular sequence.

So, 96 levels x 3 types of play = 288 "levels".

And, trust me, it's ADDICTIVE. You're also trying to beat your previous time. The game has near endless replay value and it's a lot of fun. I pretty much played it for 10 hours on the flight back from Japan.

Check it out if you can.

Brodie-san.

Oh, I should also have mentioned (and spelt "particular" correctly of course) that there's a built-in map editor so you can create your own worlds and copy them to your memory stick to become the scourge of your friends!
