How to play and score tips
ECHO PANIC is a score-attack game where you dodge ECHOs created from your previous movement routes.
1. Start in portrait mode
Hold your iPhone upright, tap Start in the app, then drag with one finger to move the player.
2. Collect coins
Each yellow coin is worth 100 points. Watch nearby ECHOs and keep an escape route open instead of focusing only on coins.
3. Avoid your past route
Every ten seconds, your previous ten seconds of movement become a new ECHO. It repeats that recorded movement. Contact ends the run.
Scores and local records
Earn 10 points per second survived, 100 per coin and 250 per ten-second loop cleared. Best scores stay on your device without cloud sync. Deleting the app may erase them.
Adjust the effects
Sound, vibration, screen shake and flashes can be adjusted in Settings. Choose a setup that feels comfortable and easy to see.
High-score tips
Think one loop ahead
Your current movement becomes a future obstacle. Repeatedly crossing the entire arena can leave fewer escape routes later. Try smaller movements first.
Plan beyond the coin
Think about where you will go after collecting a coin. Sometimes surviving to the next loop is worth more than a risky pickup.
Learn from the collision
Recall which route caught you and change your movement on the next attempt. Your own movement is the key to improving.
