User-created echochrome levels are mind-boggling

While America is getting just a taste of echochrome in America today, our Japanese friends have been able to enjoy this innovative puzzler for quite some time now. With the game's built-in level editor, they've created some truly frighteningly fiendish levels. These devilish creations will be distributed via the PSN in the future.

Those who've tried the game know that it can be difficult to think so extraordinarily out of the box. Imagine, then, how difficult these user levels must have been to design!

I felt my brain collapsing at the sheer thought of completing that monstrosity.

Seeing as I just beat the new USA demo in under 5 minutes... I hope the full game is more challenging and that the crazy jap levels are there soon!

I don't know what's more confusing. building a level or completing a built level O.O PSN Version for me as I'm the only one here with a psp. unless xlink gets echochrome to work with the psp version.

What is this xlink you speak of?

Xlink lets you play ad-hoc games online. Google it.

SharpShooter @ Apr 24th 2008 9:53PM

God, my brain hurts just looking at those puzzles.. Imagine completing them.

Holy poop...I can't wait to wrap my brain around some of those levels. I get the feeling I may end up throwing my psp out of the window. Then I'll be able to convince my wife that I need a slimmy. Score!

...sorry for the double (now triple) postings... =/

Sorry, I've gotten really mixed up in the whole echochrome thing - I used to be with it, but I dunno what happened.

Can someone explain to me the differences between the PS3 and PSP versions? How much will each cost? When will they be available? Can you build levels on both?

Lavat @ Apr 25th 2008 6:18AM

I thought the demo would be hard. But it was very fun. But oddly enough I completed in just 20 minutes. I want a challenge now!!...

drdre74 @ Apr 25th 2008 9:21AM

I've been playing the full game for a few weeks and the game is really hard when you have more than one character walking at the same time. The levels do get harder and harder to the point i dont even play it anymore because my brain doesnt think fast enough lol!
