More about this game
Echo Run: Puzzle Trails is a grid-based puzzle game where your past actions help you progress. You control a hero navigating a series of 15 levels, but every 3 seconds, an echo spawns at the start and repeats your exact sequence of moves. You must use these clones to hold down pressure plates and open doors. If you touch a hazard or collide with an echo, the level resets, costing you 25 points. A run ends when you clear all 15 puzzle trails.
Tips
- Echoes spawn every 3 seconds. Time your movements so they land on the plates exactly when you need them to, as they wait briefly between each step.
- You can have up to 5 echoes active at once. Use them to hold down multiple plates, but remember that some plates require up to 3 echoes simultaneously.
- Avoid crossing paths with your echoes. Colliding with one will reset the level and cost you 25 points, while collecting yellow shards adds 50 points to your score.
Questions
How do I open the doors?
Doors open when the required number of pressure plates are held down. You must use your echoes to stand on the plates while you head to the exit. Some plates need multiple echoes.
Why did the level reset?
The level resets if you touch a red hazard or collide with one of your echoes. You will lose 25 points when this happens, but you can retry the level immediately.
How is the score calculated?
You earn 50 points for collecting a yellow shard. Clearing a level awards a base of 120 points, plus an additional 20 points for every level you have completed so far.
