Echoes

Post by Drasir-Vel »

This game is not for epileptics. Its an asteroids clone with a little more modern look. It gives more control than the classic asteroids, since you can control the movement of your "entity" with the mouse, and the aim with the keyboard, or vice-versa.

It's made by Binaryzoo Studios.

Their Website: Binaryzoo
Game page: Echoes
Direct download link: Echoes

BTW, you can turn the visual effects, and motion blur off if you want.

I actually did post some of those pictures. But i removed them again, because i was intimidated by the "copyright" in the bottom right part of the pictures.:)

I took some own screenshots and added them to the first post. They are not as good as the old ones as they are from the early stages of the game, but you will get an impression. They have the copyright message as well, but that shouldn't be a problem as it is an ingame message (so it will be on every screenshot).

But to say something about the game: It's pretty good fun! Binaryzoo really knows how to take old game concepts and change them in a way that something completely new comes out. It was never that much fun to play "Asteroids".
