About Echo Pads
Echo Pads is a memory game built around four glowing pads, each with its own musical note. The game plays a sequence, and you repeat it. Every successful round adds one more step to the end.
Early rounds are easy, but by round ten you will be holding a surprisingly long pattern in your head. Sound helps a lot: many players remember the melody rather than the colours. A single wrong pad ends the game.
How to play
- Press Start and watch the pads light up.
- Repeat the sequence by pressing the pads in the same order.
- Each completed round adds one new step.
- One mistake ends the game. Your highest round is saved.
Tips and strategy
- Hum the notes along with the sequence. Melody is easier to recall than position.
- Group long sequences into chunks of three or four steps.
- Take your time. There is no time limit while you repeat a sequence.
