HEXASWEEPER
Read full descriptionHide full description
It is a game that opens the panel so as not to hit the bomb hidden in the hexagonal panel. Several bombs are hidden in an area lined with hexagonal panels. The game is cleared when you open all the panels except the bomb. The open panel shows the number of adjacent bombs. Let's open the panel with that as a hint!

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: HEXASWEEPER at none against Energy Path's 4. HEXASWEEPER also leads on iOS requirement (12.0 vs 17.2). Energy Path's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs every 13 months). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
