Our take on ecotone
Rather than settling on one central platforming rule, Ecotone changes its play structure from level to level. Chases, puzzles, reversed gravity, and time control replace the genre’s usual repeated movement pattern, while level sentences tie these shifts to the avatar’s story.
What is ecotone?
Ecotone is a platformer set in a transition zone between worlds.
Each level changes its core mechanics, with examples including speed chases, puzzle solving, reversed gravity, and stopping time. A sentence attached to each level provides clues about the avatar and its riddle while revealing the story. The game presents a quirky setting, an original soundtrack, retro conventions such as no checkpoints, and level access through codes. Its narrative follows an avatar who is not presented as a conventional hero.
