Whoa, Echochrome has level sharing between users!
This post isn’t about programming for once. I also tend to spend a lot of time in front of my PS3 and just found out something that is quite cool and seems to have been overlooked.
Echochrome has been out in the Japanese and Hong Kong store for a little while now, and apparently it supports level sharing! And not just that, but it uses your PSN friends list as well (you can also send levels to people who aren’t your friends). There is also a feature for “uploading to a public server” but I couldn’t get that to work. Anyways, I really like this step towards community driven content, and I hope more games will use it. Here are some pictures:

Transmission completed!:

Unfortunately Echochrome is scheduled for May outside of Asia, which is weird as hell considering that the version from the Hong Kong store is completely in English. There doesn’t seem to be any limitations for purchasing it for users outside of Hong Kong (I’m located in Europe) so there really doesn’t exist any reason to wait. Get a HK-account and download it now
