Ecli [ē-klī]:

an intelligent, curious bubble of gelatinous goo

Venture with Dev, an Ecli. Explore lush jungles, mysterious wetlands, colorful coastal reefs, and bioluminescent caverns. Unravel the secrets of theTi Stone to become the Ecli’s next leader, the Rex.

Discover and solve more than 40 puzzles.

Every puzzle solved unlocks new paths to explore within four vibrant ecosystems. Each puzzle is unique, and each one is its own mind-bending conundrum.

No time limits. No dying. No game over.

Play at your own pace. Experiment, learn, and explore without the stress of a count-down clock or the worry of starting all over again.  Play alone, or play with friends to solve Ecli's puzzles as a team.

Hood Vibrations

All of Ecli’s music tracks are arrangements of songs from award winning acoustic duo, Ryanhood. Ryanhood’s acoustic guitar interplay and thoughtfully moving melodies have been carefully rewritten and optimized to fit every detailed nuance into the Game Boy audio architecture. If you haven't heard Ryanhood's music, you've been missing out -  www.ryanhood.com

What to expect on Kickstarter

The game is complete and ready for play. But... no Game Boy game is complete without a physical release. The goal for the upcoming Kickstarter campaign is to fund physical cartridges, instruction booklets, custom cases, CD soundtracks, and  a 148-page hardcover player's guide book. And because my typical hobby is designing kinetic wooden sculptures, Ecli will be getting a Maker Bundle as well, which will include a 3D printable Ecli figure, a wooden intarsia model, and printable posters.
