Similarly, if discontinuous shapes or parts of the same shape appear, from the chosen camera angle, to form a continuous path, the character will traverse from one to the other.Īlthough the character cannot step off the surface of a shape, there are certain points where it may hop off or fall. The unique aspect of the game is that the path can be altered merely by rotating the shapes and viewing them from a different perspective: for instance, if a gap or obstacle is obscured, the character will behave as if the path continues behind the object which currently, obscures the gap or obstacle from view. However, the character cannot be directly controlled by the player: it moves autonomously, following a path along the surface of each shape in a manner which keeps the path's boundary on the character's left (that is, in order of preference, turning left, proceeding straight ahead, turning right, or turning back on itself). When the last marked position has been visited, one last echo appears, which the player must reach to finish the level: scoring is simply a matter of timing completion of each level (or a course containing several levels). The objectives are marked by shadows ('echoes') of the moving character. The ultimate goal is to lead your character through the path from beginning to end, while learning how a variety of different objects can be combined with perspectives, angles and the use of light can be used to help solve the puzzle.Echochrome requires the player to control a moving character-which resembles an articulated wooden artist's mannequin-to visit, in any order, particular locations on the surfaces of collections of three-dimensional shapes. Utilizing the PlayStation Move motion controller and the PlayStation Eye camera, players can rotate levels and control light and shadows to change the way objects are viewed and the shadows they cast. Use Canvas Mode to create and share puzzles with friends.Guide a mannequin through 56 mind-bending levels.Manipulate the camera to master the five perspective laws.Creative players can also use the Canvas Mode to design their own mind-bending levels to share with friends on the Playstation Network with the developers selecting the best homemade puzzles for worldwide distribution. However, by manipulating the game camera players can alter their perspective to hide gaps or connect distant pathways, and in the world of Echochrome if it appears to be true, then it is. The challenge comes from the fact that every puzzle is filled with obstacles, be they holes or gaps in the walkway, goals that are above or below the mannequin, or paths that appear unconnected. Players must collect five 'echoes' strewn about each level, with the final echo appearing in the same place the level begins. Developed by Sony's Japan studios,Echochromes a unique downloadable game from the Playstation Network that challenges players to think in 3D as they navigate puzzles inspired by the works of famous perspective-bending Dutch artist M.C Escher The puzzles appear to float in space and are presented in stark black and white, and each of the 56 levels finds gamers trying to guide a walking mannequin from one part of the puzzle to another.
