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.
