"Echo Escape is a colorful 2D platformer that cleverly uses echolocation in its design. In the game, players are a mouse trying to escape a dark maze. When players jump, the mouse emits waves of color, creating a cool canvas of luminescent shades. The objective of the game is to complete the maze by landing on platforms that match the avatar’s changing color.
The game was developed by one designer, King Zhou! Before Newbies & Vets, King had participated in smaller game jams. After learning about Newbies & Vets, he decided to take part to develop his art, programming, and game design skills. Players can admire the subtle design choices he implemented, such as adding a red hue to mark unidentified platforms as dangerous. If players make it far into the game, there’s a large surprise in the game design waiting to be revealed. "
