Echoing Skies
A downloadable expressive platformer for Windows

Echoing Skies is a 3D expressive platformer where the player collects Vibe Crystals to win the game. The crystals are scattered across the vibrant flying metropolis of Echo Haven, where the player combines classical platforming abilities with a boom box, which can boost the player and refresh their movement abilities.

In Echoing Skies, players enjoy classic platforming abilities like jumping, double-jumping, dashing and wall-jumping, though there is a twist. Throwing and detonating the Boom Box catapults the player away from its source, resetting all movement abilities. This gives players the opportunity to perform astounding airborne combos.

When playing the game, the annual Vibe Festival is in full swing, where numerous Vibe Crystals are scattered across the floating islands. The player must collect all Vibe Crystals to win the game.

Meanwhile, they gather CoinZ and interact with the inhabitants of the flying metropolis. Some residents share stories about their lives, provide gameplay tips, or trade the highly sought after crystals for money.

This game is an absolute vibe visually, audibly and controllably. There's literally nothing bad I can say about this game. I really hope we get more of this.
I am glad you enjoyed the game as much as you did, sadly there won't be anything new in the near future for Echoing Skies, we had a lot more planned and there are many more Ideas for the game but that will have to wait for a bit longer in the future, as this project was made as a Student project and we had to move to new projects.
But if you enjoyed the game and want to check out what a big portion of the team is currently creating you can check the Games Academy Games and take a look at Munch and Magic, a Classical JRPG with a food theme
