What do you think?

​This is so good! A very unexpected deep story that really drags you in and keeps you wanting more.

The slow addition of new aspects and twists to the game keep things flowing nicely and make every level a learning experience, while the sneaky feeding of plot from the two narrators make you want to keep going to see what's going on in this weird and wonderful world.

There's so many different things that make the gaming experience different as you play (creatures that help you fly, help you attack and help you live), the game itself is a living thing and I'm hugely impressed! Keep up the amazing work, this was a blast =)

This game is just fascinating. I am so curious about the rest of the story and I love the environment and the controls were smooth. This is overall very fantastic and I am so interested. Very good job.

Ectolibrium is a 2.5d platformer, although it plays pretty differently from any of those currently on the market. You play as a creature yanked from another dimension and dropped into an industrial wasteland full of other alien lifeforms. You leap and cling through the environment to find ectoplasm to power yourself up, allowing you to temporarily fly. You explore, interact with unique creatures and collect nutrient to sprout alien plants and sabotage force fields blocking your path. You trigger floods of ectoplasm, transforming the dead environment into a vibrant and flourishing alien ocean.

We want our gameworld to feel truly weird, with visuals drawing off tide-pools, deep sea life and and microorganisms. Only trace amounts of a more familiar world remain in this setting, buried beneath years of accumulated strangeness.

The game went up on Steam early access last Thursday. This devlog covers that experience, initial reception, plans going forward, and how to access the game's leaderboards.

This week I talk about submitting the game to Steam curators, some of the issues with early access, and the roadmap we're making to (hopefully) bypass those issues.
