Dark Echo is a paid ($1.99) minimalist horror game. You're basically trapped in a dark place and have to use your other senses to escape. If you like horror games and have the two bucks to spare this is a good one to add to your library.
S.O.S by American Red Cross is a pretty nifty little first aid app. It even tells you what to expect if you're a noob at calling 911, if you can use an AED on someone with a nipple ring, etc.
If you like the sound of that (edit: pun not intended), try the mobile game Dark Echo. You're literally just a pair of white footprints on a black screen. You move by pressing, but can throw stones, stamp your feet, or tiptoe - and soundwaves are visualized as lines on-screen, so you're visually using sound to navigate in a dark maze. It's an amazing game, at least checkout some YouTube video or something. It costs a small amount but well worth it, and the core mechanic is really neat.
I think you forgot the 'l' at the end of HTML. http://www.macworld.com/article/2886387/you-should-play-dark-echo.html
Looks like a cool game! Too bad its not on android.
Edit: It is on android! https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rac7.DarkEcho
Looks pretty, but I don't quite understand the controls?
​
Also, this kind of mechanics, I think, lends itself to a game like Dark Echo. Using the particles as a sense of vision, like a flashlight.
Dark Echo - Trapped in darkness, you must use visualized sound to guide your way through threatening environments. The sounds you create will bounce off obstacles, revealing the shape of the surrounding world. It won't be long before your only way of sensing the world attracts a horrifying evil that devours both sound and souls.

|---|---|---|
| Dark Echo | A cool game where you use the sound of footsteps to navigate through a maze. | paid, games |
| Deemo | one of those tap the note games, but with genuinely beautiful and, as far as I can tell, original music. It also has a little story going on that keeps you interested. The all itself is free, but you can buy song sets. | games |
| Geometry Dash Lite | You're a little cube and trying to get through different levels to the beat of a song. Infuriatingly fun. Free with an option to go pro for ad-free. | games |
| Lifeline | Bought this game for 10 cents. It's a really intriguing concept. You receive a message from someone stranded on a moon, and try to guide them through survival. | paid, games |
| Lifeline 2 | Similar to lifeline, also bought for 10 cents. | paid, games |
| Lifeline Silent Night | Similar to lifeline, also bought for 10 cents. | paid, games |
| Plague Inc | Try to destroy the world by creating a disease that spreads faster than a cure could be found. Got it on Amazon during one of their Underground sales for free, but also available on gPlay. | games |
| Stack | Pretty fun game, simple and beautiful. Goal is to stack the blocks, but each time you don't stack it perfectly a bit gets chipped off. Nice waiting game. | games, paid, daily, basic |
