Dler6August 3, 2007
Pros
Yes its an asteroids (or geometry wars) clone but its fun has very vibrant graphics and (unlike post below) runs very smoothly on my computer a warning though you will get owned when you reach level 10 lol it allows you to play your own mp3s in game..which is always a good feature
Cons
Summary

GryphonicJune 14, 2007
Pros
Nice small game, good effects and decent music. Its good for just taking a break. I dont realy know why i like it, i just do.
Cons
Very slow start, up to level 3 its a bit boring but after that it picks up. You need a fast mouse - my mx518 @1600dpi is good but better still is my bro's 2000dpi mouse. I dont know if its just my eyes but the blurry graphics make them hurt after about 20min. Same happened with NFS Most Wanted.
Summary
Definitely worth it
Evils DarkJune 2, 2007
Pros
For a freeware program, this is definitely worth downloading and playing. It's difficult to find free programs of this calibre sometimes.
Cons
A lot of action here; I'd assume it runs slowly on old machines.
Summary
Amazing how such a simple game can be so brutal in action.

Pros
The graphic design is simple yet enticing, and the action is non-stop.
Cons
Could've been better with more variations and levels. The game hang sometimes and your cursor got messed up. I don't know if this is a minor bug.
Summary
Great game; Can't put it down

Pros
Highly addictive, runs on the maximum graphical quality with little to no problems on my system. You can put your own songs in, which is really nice.
Cons
The music doesn't shuffle well enough. And, you can only put 50 songs in. Can't skip songs easily. But that's about all that is wrong with this game.
Summary
Fun for very young children

Mindless - Effortless to learn and operate.

Not for teens and above.

Great little product. Easy to install and use. Game itself can keep you riveted to it. Hard to get away from it once you have started to play it.
Cons
Nothing I didn't like about it.
Summary

Developer’s Description

By Binary Zoo

Shoot everything, avoid everything, and score points in this frenetic free shooter.

Echoes is a bit like Asteroid's hyperactive, drug crazed brother displayed in blur-o-vision and viewed through psychedelic sunglasses in a cheap nightclub.

the game consists of 10 levels with a new enemy introduced on each new level (mini asteroid, small asteroid, large asteroid, XXL asteroid, comet, meteor storm, asteroid belt, planet, black hole & sun). Each has different strengths and weaknesses, and each requires different strategies.

The player loses energy when hit by an enemy. Remaining energy is shown on the HUD but the coloured ring around the player also indicates energy status (a large, green circle changing to a small red circle as energy depletes). There are three different powerups that appear at random intervals to aid your progress: Weapon Up; Energy Up; and Ring of Bullets.

Version 1.01 is the first public release of Echoes.
