Welcome to Echo! Echo is a tactile rhythm game where sound, timing, and instinct come together. Listen to a rhythm pattern, feel its flow, and match the correct sound. Each level challenges your sense of timing and musical intuition, helping you sharpen your rhythm skills through play. With thousands of handcrafted levels, Echo offers a smooth difficulty curve that rewards focus, accuracy, and consistency. Earn coins, progress through levels, and experience the satisfaction of mastering increasingly complex patterns. Designed to be minimal, responsive, and deeply engaging, Echo focuses on how rhythm feels, not just how it looks. Play anytime, anywhere. Echo works amazing offline and requires no login. * Echo is mostly haptic dependent, but an alternative approach is available! It is still not a main medium of the app, and we do recommend experiencing the app with haptics if possible

The screen looks empty. It isn't. Somewhere on that blank board hides a shape — a cat, a key, a dallah, a rocket. Slide your finger across the glass and *feel* it: a soft rumble while you're inside it, a crisp tap every time you cross its edge, silence outside. Build the picture in your mind. Then name it before the clock runs out. DAILY TACTO One hidden shape per day — the same one for every player on Earth. 90 seconds, 3 guesses, one shot. Keep your streak alive and share your result (no spoilers). CLASSIC Endless practice. Pick a difficulty, pick a category, feel as long as you like. PARTY — PASS & FEEL 2–8 players, one iPhone. Everyone feels the same shape; the fastest correct guess takes the round. The perfect "wait, try this" game. ZEN No timer. No guessing. Pick any shape and just… feel it. BUILT TO BE FELT, NOT SEEN Tacto is fully playable eyes-free. Every prompt can be spoken aloud, an optional audio layer mirrors the haptics, and the whole game works beautifully with VoiceOver. For blind and low-vision players this isn't an accessibility mode bolted on later — it's the same game everyone plays, because nobody can see the shape. PLAY IN YOUR LANGUAGE Fully localized in 36 languages — switch anytime, right inside the app. PRIVACY Tacto collects nothing. No accounts, no ads, no tracking. Your stats never leave your phone. 60+ shapes at launch. A Shape-dex to fill. Game Center streaks, leaderboards, and achievements. One optional purchase (Tacto Pro) unlocks every Zen shape, exclusive app icons, and Draw & Feel mode. Requires an iPhone with a Taptic Engine. Headphones optional. Eyes optional too.
