The ECHOPLEX beta was awarded Most Innovative Game and Best Art Direction at Lisboa Games Week IndieDome 2017.

After a tough Early Access launch in April, we’ve been hard at work making ECHOPLEX better.

We’ve focussed on improving puzzle design, creating a better reward system and building out the story.

In August, we got the news that ECHOPLEX would be one of 30 international games exhibited in the IndieDome at Lisboa Games Week 2017.



Lisboa Games Week is Europe’s fastest growing games event, with 70 000+ gamers attending this year.

It was a great opportunity to test the unreleased ECHOPLEX beta. We managed to get the game in front of a lot of players, and we got invaluable feedback as a result.



On the last night of the event, ECHOPLEX won 2 of the 4 international indie awards: Most Innovative Game, and Best Art Direction.

Thanks to the organisers of IndieDome, and to every person who played the demo – ECHOPLEX is going to be a better game because of you.

I’m really looking forward to sharing this new version of the game with you - I’ll have more news on the release of ECHOPLEX full version soon…

We’re excited to announce Update 0.3.0, which includes 3 big changes:


We’ve had many requests for a time trial feature to be added, so here it is!



The time trial feature will unlock after you've successfully completed all 15 levels of the Early Access edition.

Your score is the total amount of time spent playing through all 15 levels (including any deaths or restarts), and your ranking will be displayed on the Global Leaderboard.


We’ve adjusted the climbing physics and animation to give you more control at the top of the climb (rather than getting automatically pushed forward). Transitioning from climbing to moving is now much more fluid.

(The change in player control has caused small animation problems for the Echo climbing - but they are next on the list.)


There are 3 types of achievements:



Level Achievements: These are earned after each level that you complete.



Perfect Run Achievements: These are earned for a completing a series of levels without having to restart the level (due to dying, time expiring, or giving up).



Time Trial Achievements: These are earned for completing levels within the allotted time.

The achievements TO BE CONTINUED and BENDING TIME are exclusive to Early Access.

• A smexy new menu! (see below)
• Extension of the first two levels!
• Exciting bug fixes!

As always, let us know if you have any feedback in the Discussions or mail the game director directly: tyron@outputgames.com

Happy time trialling!
