This game is based on OLE Coordinate System, a technology developed by the artists of echochrome ii. Other works with similar motifs have been submitted to the Japan Media Arts Festival in the past, but echochrome ii offers an unprecedented 3D expressiveness using a new input device as a light source. Using reversely the characteristics of 3D works, echochrome ii transforms a 3D world into a 2D puzzle through the metaphor of shadows. Not a bad game, Echochrome always has interesting puzzles but if you're looking for a title just for your move, don't drop the cash so quickly.A dramatic leap from a light input device to entertainment Perhaps something was off on my end but the way it controlled was too sensitive and it didn't convey that feeling of light on a surface as I was inclined to believe but really just sort of a gimmicky control scheme to make it seem different. Perhaps something was off on my end but the way it controlled was too sensitive and it didn't convey that feeling of light on a surface as I was inclined to believe but When I saw the commercials and advertisements for this game I was completely convinced it would feel like I was shining a flashlight on a puzzle to help the little mannequin guy do this thing like in the previous title.

I would recommend this to anyone with a move being cheaper than most titles and the replayability should keep you busy for a while creating and playing other peoples created levels. You can kill your character in this game by sandwiching him between a couple of shadows. His idea of breaking the game is actually one of the techniques that are taught to you right in the beginning (that is using the shadows to push your character around).

The difficulty is progressive but much like the original there are many ways to complete each puzzle. You can screw around a hope to stumble upon the solution like the IGN reviewer does or you can actually use your brain and figure out how to do the puzzle quickly. Compared to the original game this one actually has colour and one third of the game is dedicated to puzzles where the blocks are coloured whenever your shadow man steps on the corresponding shadow.

There is no elevator music it is pretty much the same as the first game. You can This is the best puzzle game (if not best game) the move has to offer. This is the best puzzle game (if not best game) the move has to offer.
