How to play Light Echo
Light Echo shows a pattern on four big coloured pads, each with its own tone, and you repeat it in the same order. Every round adds one more light, so the chain keeps growing until you slip.
Pick Calm, Normal or Quick, and play Forward or in Reverse, where you repeat the pattern backwards. You have a limited time for each press, and longer chains in faster or reversed games score more.
After a mistake you can watch an optional video to replay the round once, or ask for the pattern to be shown again once per game. Your longest chain, best score and settings are saved on your device. The game runs in the browser with no download and no account.
