No Echochrome sequel, dev team working on new puzzler

I don’t know if this is good news or bad news. Sony Japan has announced that they will not be working on a sequel to the world-turning puzzler game, Echochrome. More details in the full article.

I don’t know whether to take this as good news or bad news. According to Sony Japan, they won’t be making a sequel to their hit puzzler game, Echochrome (PSP, PSN). I mean, I like the game – but damned if I want to spend more hours making myself dizzy. Still, it’s not like we have a shortage of versions either.

Though the development team will not be working on a sequel, they will be working on a new puzzler game. The game’s producer, Tatsuya Suzuki, and Kyushu University’s Jun Fujuki, whose research on trick imagery was used as the game’s basis.

Fujuki will still be working with the team, and they already have a new title that’s based on an entirely different kind of trick imagery. I’m pretty excited about what they come up with next, although I hope this next game isn’t as… vertigo-inducing.

• Echochrome: downloadable PSP version lacks two modes
• More Echochrome version differences: Europe gets UMD and more puzzles
• Echochrome PS3 to have endless supply of free user-created DLC
