Echo
Watch four pads light up, then repeat the sequence before you run out of lives.
If the game does not load, open it directly.
How to play Echo
Each round flashes a sequence on the four coloured pads, one pad at a time.
When the pads stop, repeat the sequence in the same order by tapping the pads.
A correct round adds one more pad to the next sequence. A wrong tap costs one of your three lives.
Clear all twelve rounds to finish the echo. The longest sequence you clear is your best.
Tips for a better run
- Say the pad colours in your head as they flash; a rhythm is easier to hold than four separate taps.
- Group the sequence into pairs rather than trying to remember every individual pad.
- If you lose a life, the same sequence is shown again. Use the second look.
