And Echo is a space game where a distressed planet is sending signal in hope that someone hears it. Hopefully that is you!

Your spaceship is equipped with three detection beacons (so you can triangulate ;) and you will also be able to detect audio signals when you are near them.

How to play

To play, use WAD/arrows (except the down one). Escape goes to main menu.

Nice! Could definitely use some effects (sound, particles, screen shake) when you hit a planet.

I found the planet, but not visually. Nice physics, momentum... I guess you're not able to see it and have to go only by the signals, correct? I kept pressing Q and E to rotate, since I'm used to them, so maybe add them as alternatives?

Cool little concept, wish you were able to explore it more because it works really well for locating. Would definitely be interested to see where you would have taken this game should you have had more time. But the gameplay that you did have felt very intuitive. Good job!

An interesting take on the theme! Managed to find one of them in 16 seconds but that was only because I ran into it at full speed. I turned my ship until the front signal was pinging and just went straight and happened to smack right into the one.

On my 4th or so run, the game was EVIL and had the planet be a tiny one clumped amongst a wall of larger planets. I had to burrow my way in haha.
