About

echo!

Features
Read full description

echo is a musical memory game. Four pads, each a colour and a note of a chord. The game sings a short song, lighting each pad as its note plays. Then it's your turn: tap the pads back in the same order. Get it right and the song grows by one note and plays again, a little faster. One wrong note ends the run. Every melody is composed as you play, so no two runs sound the same. HOW IT PLAYS • Listen while the game sings and lights the pads • Tap the pads back in the same order to score • Each round adds one note and quickens the tempo • One wrong note, and the song gets away IT GROWS AS YOU GO • Every 10 points the pads morph shape together • Every 15 points the pads shuffle positions, but their colours and notes travel with them • At 30 points two new pads join the song, from four to six • Milestone flashes and a rising arpeggio every 5 points MADE TO FEEL GOOD • Notes drawn from one warm chord, so the song always sounds harmonious • Warm, minimal design in a calm dark palette • Crisp haptics on every note • A colour-blind mode and a sound toggle in settings No timers, no energy, no daily nags. Just you, the song, and one more note.
