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.

Akoustik is a sound-memory game: listen to a growing sequence of tiles, then tap them back in the same order. Simple to learn, genuinely hard to master — and it comes in six different flavors. CLASSIC Watch the sequence grow one tile at a time. How far can you get before your memory breaks? DAILY CHALLENGE The same sequence for everyone, every day. Compare your run against the world. CHALLENGES Send a sequence to a friend and see who remembers it better — real player-vs-player, not just a leaderboard. PITCH MATCH No visual sequence this time — just your ears. Pick the tile that sounds different, across three difficulty levels, with its own leaderboard. SOUND CREATOR Build your own tune out of the game's tiles and share it. DUEL Head-to-head, unlimited replays — just you, an opponent, and a sequence that keeps growing. Sign in with Google to keep your progress safe across reinstalls and appear on the public leaderboards, or just play anonymously — it's entirely optional. Akoustik is free, supported by optional rewarded ads that never interrupt play unless you choose to watch one.
