About

Trace Memory Game

Features
Read full description

A shape flashes on screen. You have to redraw it from memory — in the same place, at the same size, before time runs out. Trace is a memory recall game. Every round walks through three phases: memorize, recall, score. The shorter the flash, the harder it gets. From a generous three-second look on Beginner to a brutal 0.3-second flash on Master, every recall tests your visual memory and your motor precision. WHAT YOU GET FOR FREE - 15 hand-tuned Basics shapes — circles, stars, infinity loops, hearts, spirals, more - Daily challenge: same shape worldwide every day, with a daily streak that builds across days - All six difficulties: Beginner, Easy, Medium, Hard, Expert, Master - The full scoring breakdown — shape match, position match, scale match — shown after every round so you understand exactly why you scored what you did UNLOCK TRACE PRO ($2.99 ONE-TIME) - 106 more shapes across 7 categories: Nature, Animals, Faces, Zig-zags, Constellations, Symbols, and the full A–Z Alphabet - Streak mode: chain perfect recalls in a single run with a combo multiplier that grows up to 3x. Earn zero stars on any round and the run ends. - Future shape packs and game modes included at no extra cost HOW SCORING WORKS Three sub-scores combine into your final accuracy: how close your drawn curve is to the target shape, how close your stroke's centroid is to the original position on the canvas, and how close your bounding-box span is to the original scale. Faster recalls earn speed bonus points. Recalls completed in a single unbroken stroke earn an extra +100. Stars are awarded based on your total points, capped at three. DESIGNED FOR FOCUS - One-time purchase. No subscriptions. No ads. No third-party tracking. No analytics. - Plays entirely offline — only contacts Apple's StoreKit, and only when you initiate a purchase or restore. - Phone calls or notifications mid-round automatically pause the round timer so you don't lose progress to interruptions. - Full VoiceOver support across every screen. - Dark-mode native. PRIVACY Trace collects no personal data. Game progress is stored only on your device. Your finger drawings exist only in memory during a single round and are discarded as soon as the next round begins — they're never written to disk, transmitted, or shared. The complete privacy policy is linked from the in-app Settings screen. Built by an indie developer in Würzburg, Germany.

The clearest difference is ads: Trace Memory Game at none against Yamb's shown. On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
