## What is Blind Echo?

BLIND ECHO - Navigate the Darkness

The world is dark. You can't see anything.

A tiny dot of light - that's you. Somewhere in the void, obstacles are rushing toward you. You can't see them... unless you listen.

Every few seconds, a sonar pulse erupts from your position and ripples outward into the darkness. For a brief moment, the obstacles flicker into existence - then disappear back into the black.

Can you memorize what you saw? Can you dodge in time?

------------------------------
HOW TO PLAY
------------------------------
- Tap the LEFT side of the screen to move left
- Tap the RIGHT side of the screen to move right
- A sonar pulse fires automatically - use those glimpses to survive
- You have 2 lives. One hit turns you dim. Two hits ends the game.
- Survive 10 seconds after getting hit to recover your second life.

------------------------------
FEATURES
------------------------------
- Minimalist atmospheric design
- Sonar-based visibility mechanic - unique survival gameplay
- 2-life system with auto-regeneration
- Progressive difficulty - the longer you survive, the faster it gets
- 3 obstacle types: horizontal bars, vertical pillars, and L-shapes
- Persistent high score tracking
- Original dark ambient soundtrack

------------------------------
THE CHALLENGE
------------------------------
Speed increases every 10 seconds for the first 100 seconds - then continues to scale. By 5 minutes, obstacles move at 3x speed. By 10 minutes, 4x. How long can you last?

Close your eyes. Trust the pulse. Survive.
