Trace Memory Game
Read full descriptionHide 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.

REMEMBER. MERGE. WIN. Memorix is a fast, addictive memory game built around one simple idea — the board flashes once, then it all goes dark. You have 120 seconds to match every pair from memory. No tutorials. No fluff. Just you, the clock, and a grid that doesn't forgive. HOW IT WORKS • A 5×6 grid of color-coded blocks flashes for 2.5 seconds • Memorize every position, every color • Drag blocks together to merge matching pairs • Wrong move? –50 points, –5 seconds, blocks re-hide • Need a hint? Tap to peek — but it costs you precious time CHAIN COMBOS Back-to-back correct merges build a multiplier — up to 5×. One mistake resets the chain. Risk it for the points. RACE THE CLOCK • Correct merge: +3 seconds • Wrong merge: –5 seconds • Peek: –2 seconds, –50 points Every move is a tradeoff. Every second matters. GLOBAL LEADERBOARD Every game is logged. Compete with players worldwide. Your best run is your reputation. Final score = game score + (time left × 50). WHY YOU'LL LOVE IT • Pick-up-and-play sessions under 2 minutes • A real test of working memory, not just reflexes • Clean, dark, distraction-free design • No energy timers, no paywalls, no tricks • Plays offline — your scores sync when you're back online Whether you're killing time on the train or training your brain between meetings, Memorix is the memory game that respects your time. Download. Memorize. Climb the boards.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Memorix at none against Trace Memory Game's 1. Memorix also leads on iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.0). Trace Memory Game's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
