Every digit you place echoes across the board. ECHO GRID is a fresh kind of logic puzzle about reading the ripples. Place digits 1-3 on a 5x5 board.

Match the target sum of every row and column to clear the stage! SIMPLE TO LEARN, DEEP TO MASTER - One rule: place digits. You'll get it in a minute - A single digit affects several rows and columns at once - plan ahead - Every puzzle has exactly one solution.

Shadow Grid is a calm, satisfying 3D puzzle: stack and rotate simple blocks on a grid until the shadows they cast on two walls match the target silhouette exactly. - 200 handcrafted levels, from a gentle two-piece start to real spatial-reasoning challenges. - A separate 100-level Pro pack for players who want a tougher challenge - bigger grids, more pieces, and blocks that sit at different heights so the shadows overlap in ways you can't just read off the floor. - Drag pieces along the floor and tap to rotate - no timers, no penalties, just figure it out at your own pace. - Global leaderboard: pick a username and an avatar, and see how your progress compares to other players. - Five visual skins to re-color your blocks, from a classic monochrome look to warmer palettes. - Reset any level instantly and try again as many times as you like. No sign-up required - just open the app and start stacking. An optional one-time purchase removes ads entirely.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: ECHO at none against ShadowGrid's 2. ECHO also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
