Echo Cortex is a sleek, neon dual-world puzzle game about synchronization. Two grids — World A (Echo) and World B (Cortex) — sit side by side, each with its own signal to guide to the exit. Move one, and both move at once. The catch: World B is mirrored, so every step you take plays out differently on each side. Plan your route with care. Every level is a tight puzzle of limited moves and a live Sync percentage that tells you how close both worlds are to reaching balance together. Get it right and both signals land on their exits in perfect sync. Get it wrong, and the worlds fall out of sync — with a clear tip to help you plan better on your next attempt. FEATURES • Ten levels of dual-world, mirrored-movement puzzles that get cleverer as you progress • A single directional control that moves both worlds simultaneously — the puzzle is entirely in the planning • Live Sync meter and move counter, so you always know how much room you have left to solve it • Shards economy — earn Shards for every successful sync and spend them as you progress • A real neuroscience note after every win, connecting the game's "two minds, one signal" concept to how the brain actually works • Daily Sync / Sandbox mode for extra puzzles outside the main campaign • Clean, minimal neon interface — teal and pink signal trails on a deep space-dark background • Instant retry on Desync — get a tip and jump straight back in HOW IT FEELS Echo Cortex is calm, focused puzzle-solving — closer to a quiet strategy session than a fast-reflex game. Every level rewards thinking two steps ahead, literally. HOW TO PLAY 1. START A LEVEL From the main menu, tap "Play Game" to continue your progress, or "Level Select" to jump to any unlocked level directly. 2. READ THE BRIEF Each level names its mirroring rule (e.g. "World B is Mirrored") and shows your move limit and starting Sync percentage at the topof the screen. 3. WATCH BOTH WORLDS AT ONCE World A (Echo, teal) and World B (Cortex, pink) sit s
