Echochrome! I almost forgot about you! I really dug Echochrome when it came out, but due to the sheer number of games I’ve been playing since then, it kind of got put on the back burner. However, Sony has not forgotten, and the Escher-inspired puzzle game will be getting an update today that will add trophies to the game. Okay, maybe that doesn’t do much for you, but this should: the update will also add one thousand user-generated levels to the game. Yes, that says one thousand. The producer of the game had this to say on the PlayStation blog:

Hello beloved fans of echochrome.

The development team and I are very happy with all of the positive feedback we are receiving from various parts of the world. Until recently, our way of collecting your views or thoughts was based on websites, questionnaires or blog posts such as this one (which is fine!). However the stage upload feature in echochrome delivers your passion to us in a unique way.

The total count for stage uploads worldwide have now exceeded 3,700 (submitted from 33 different countries and 1664 unique users). We have done the honors of selecting a total of 1,000 user generated stages to be made available with this update patch, to everyone else. The stages are the crystals of our users’ creativity and variety, often surprising us and sometimes even an eye-opener from a development point of view.

Man, Sony sure have been busy little bees, haven’t they? Not that I’m complaining. I’ll never say no to free additional content, especially for games as fun and unique as Echochrome. I’m actually excited to see what kind of levels the fans of the game have come up with. Anyone else planning to start playing again (or for the first time) with this update?
