EchoGrid

Read the signal. Hold it in your mind. Rebuild it. EchoGrid is a visual-memory puzzle about reading a pattern of lit cells, keeping it in your head, and recreating it through a spatial rule. How it works: ⢠Watch the signal light up the grid ⢠The board hides ⢠Rebuild the pattern from memory ⢠Each world bends the rule a little more Four spatial worlds: ⢠Echoes ā pure recall, rebuild exactly what you saw ⢠Reflections ā mirror the pattern left to right ⢠Rotations ā turn it 90 degrees ⢠Sequence ā remember the order, not just the cells Easy to learn, hard to master. Levels start gentle and grow into a real test of attention and spatial memory. Play your way: ⢠Daily challenges to build a streak ⢠Endless runs that never stop ⢠Track mastery and unlock achievements ⢠Quick sessions or long focus blocks ⢠No account needed Every grid becomes a compact workout for memory, focus, and spatial reasoning.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: EchoGrid at none against Smart Blocks's 3. EchoGrid also leads on ads (none vs shown). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
