In gaming news, Fossil Echo is a 2D #adventure #platformer game is now #available on Steam for Linux and Mac. While gameplay pits the player in the roll of a boy and his journey to climb an immense tower. Since he will get to meet a varied cast of character and visit many different environments.
Even more interesting is how developer Awaceb, make a formal apology with the announcement:
“We are sorry the port took a little bit longer than expected, we thank you for your patience and we’re happy Mac & Linux users finally get a chance to play the game 🙂
Everything should work fine, but please let us know if you have any issues running the game on Mac or Linux so we can troubleshoot as soon as possible.
Thanks again for your patience, and stay tuned for the upcoming console release! :-)”
So the real gaming news here is that gameplay itself is a mix of platforming and stealth. Hence the main character is weak and vulnerable, forcing the player to use skill and timing to avoid combat whenever possible. Yet well worth the adventure, creating nice mix to the challenge for an adventure platformer.
