## What is Echo Rush?

Every day, Echo Rush deals one board to the whole world. Five by five,
a few blockers, a couple of multipliers, 80 moves. You get one scored
attempt - then the real game starts: racing ghosts.

A ghost is a real player's run, replayed live next to your board,
move for move at the speed they actually played. No bots, no waiting
for an opponent to move. Just you against the best run someone already
made.

HOW A RUN WORKS
- Swipe to slide tiles. Matching tiles merge and score.
- Blockers split the board. Multiplier cells double a merge.
- Stop early and bank unused moves for a bonus - banking pays off
  when your score is already good.
- One scored attempt per day. Make it count.

RACE GHOSTS
- Yesterday's You - beat the player you were yesterday.
- The World - the median run of the day. Are you above the line?
- The Champion - yesterday's number one, if you dare.
- Friends - challenge someone directly, or share your result: the
  link opens straight into a race against your run.

RIVALS
Racing the same person builds a rivalry. Days won, head to head.
When a rival runs the daily board before you, you'll hear about it.

THE UNLOCK - ONE PURCHASE, YOURS FOREVER
- Unlimited ghost races every day
- Endless mode: no move budget, the run ends only when the board
  fills up
- Board themes: Classic, Ember, and Tide
- Your numbers: bests, averages, streaks, and endless records

The daily board, the leaderboard, and racing your friends' challenges
are always free. No ads. No subscriptions. No energy timers.

One board. Everyone. Every day.

## Version history (last 2 releases)

### 1.1 — 2026-08-09

- Offline days behave now: the leaderboard no longer flickers or nags you to join when you're already in, and your account sits tight through bad connectivity instead of getting confused.
- Invites grew up: "Invite a friend" sends the real App Store link, so a challenged friend is two taps from racing your ghost.

### 1.0 — 2026-08-04

No release notes.
