Next Thursday, November 19th, a new PSP minis game will be coming from game developer Halfbrick. Echoes will be available from the PSP's PlayStation Network for $2.99. It's an action/puzzle game with a time-bending gameplay mechanic.
Details from Halfbrick:
"Players control Charlie, a girl transported to a dream world while studying art, and finds herself in a series of bizarre and surreal levels. To complete each level, the player must collect crystals and avoid the deadly Echoes which spawn and follow the player’s previous movements. Gameplay quickly becomes fast-paced strategic action as more complex paths are taken and the Echoes begin to close in!"
Gameplay modes include: Arcade: Collect the specified number of crystals without dying and progress through each level. High score times are recorded. Jackpot: Obtain the highest score possible within 60 seconds. Survival: Obtain the highest score within the time limit; collecting crystals adds to the time and hitting Echoes loses time. Clockwork: Controls the flow of time, and therefore movement of Echoes with left and right shoulder buttons.
