Echochrome explained in Japanese trailer

by Chris Powell { Feb 10th 2008 at 2:00PM }

Still don't know how to play echochrome yet? Well, even if you don't know Japanese, just sit back, enjoy the mellow tunes and allow this newly released trailer to help clear things up for you.

As you can see, when one pathway is blocked by an inconveniently placed hole, all it takes is a rotation of the structure to magically clear the obstruction. The rest of the video is pretty self explanatory, but if you leave here without even the slightest twinge of excitement, please run to the phone to call your doctor, cause there's obviously something wrong with you.

man, almost like Paper Mario, or Crush.

That game is sure to kill your battery quick just displaying that much white all the time.

I was wondering about that too, I was under the impression it was white-on-black for the PSP version.

Mr.ESC @ Feb 10th 2008 10:16PM

Actually I think in the final version you can use colors and stuff.Is a perfect title for the PSP,Buidling levels will keep you busy.

Haiddasalami @ Feb 11th 2008 12:22AM

no colors, just black and white.

merc25 @ Feb 11th 2008 3:30PM

no the editor allows for use of basic colors

runemaster @ Feb 10th 2008 4:11PM

i find this game really facinating. but at the same time really retarded. the music not a fan of it but it goes so well and lets me relax. makes me want more. the game is great but i get mad at the fact that you just turn over the map and the holes are gone. i get angry lol.

Oh wow, this is amazingly minimalist and with it's elegant background music it's really meant to be a cult classic. The people that try this will probably love and adore this; while the game gets mostly ignored by the general public. I'd say this belongs the DS, but honestly it couldn't handle 3D generation/music this crisp. I am seriously considering picking up this game, though I'll be awaiting a US release if there ever is one.

I was actually looking forward to this game until I saw this video. Seems boring and frustrating. >.

Brello @ Feb 10th 2008 11:25PM

That's me, too. Even the video seemed interesting to me at first, but near the end it looks like it might be more confusing and tedious than fun. I still might try it if it's priced appropriately. Even with twice the maps, I can't justify paying full price.

I can't wait for this game. You can create your own levels? That sweetens the deal even more so. Hopefully they release the game at a Patapon Price Range to rally more gamers to its cause of different gameplay!

I hope they release some sort of news or info on the Playstation.Blog.

The music might get a little boring and annoying after a while though. Hopefully there's custom soundtracks or multiple tracks on the disc. Classical and remixed classical. Heck, SCEA developed titles soundtracks, like UNCHARTED would be great! I love UNCHARTED's soundtrack, especially the new trailers soundtrack.

game looks damn confusing.. anyone have any idea what the name of the music in the background is?? sounds like a cello and pretty fun to play.
Highlight of that video.. definately the music.
Hope this game is a free psn download, i won't be paying any more than $3 for it anyway.
