Have you ever played air hockey with several pucks on at the same time, or foosball with multiple balls and try to see which player scores the most? If you have that is the type of wonderful chaos this game provides. Gorgeous! Fun! Magnificent! Flying into the sky is beautiful. The game is just challenging enough and I never had to fight the controls. Marvelous visuals and there is even an achievement for breaking all of the vases. What else can you ask for? :D

Great demo, simple and efficient concept. I hope you have mechanisms in strore for the full game. And that you will get funded. PS: for those who complain about mouse/kbd : this is a twin stick game... PPS: for those who complain about free games : think twice and look-up in the dictionary the word "free"

Echoes of Above is a free action game that caught me off guard with how much it builds its combat around one simple idea. I play as a warrior monk exploring a mythical world that has been taken over by a strange corruption, but I am not using normal attacks to deal with most of the enemies. Instead, I have to deflect their projectiles back at them. That makes the whole game about timing and positioning, and I like how different it feels from a normal top down shooter. The combat is easily the strongest part for me. When an enemy fires at me, I have to wait for the right moment and hit the projectile back into the battlefield. If I keep getting the timing right, I can build up deflections and enter the Mantra state, which makes the attacks I send back much more powerful. I like that the enemies are basically giving me the ammunition I need. It means I am not just running around looking for weapons or holding down a fire button. I actually have to pay attention to what is happening around me. The game also does a good job of making the arenas change as I progress. I am fighting different types of demons with different attack patterns, and the encounters become faster and more crowd…

I couldn't play the game. I do not have a controller and I have a qwerty keyboard. This requires a controller or non-qwerty keyboard to play.
