In the beginning there was the void. Outside of the void there is the unknown. There is nothing in the void and no one needs nothing. Touch to create a being. Press to create a strong being. Shake to clear the void. By willpower they live, they move, they die. This endless cycle of life creates desperation out of which free beings full of love can emerge.

Some call it reverse sudoku, while others call it a nullification game, but it's Zerko - a puzzle game filled with shapes, numbers, and a straightforward goal: make every number zero. To achieve this, you need to strategically place blocks of various shapes and values so that the numbers on the board effectively "remove up" to zero. Like all my games, this one too is about relaxation... Just chill. There are no points, no time pressure, no data collection, no in-app purchases, no ads, no nonsense ;) My only hope is that you'll enjoy it and that I'll be able to add new content and levels for you in the future.

Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Apeiron at Free against Zerko's $2.99. Apeiron also leads on iOS requirement (8.0 vs 12.0). Zerko's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 54 months) and ratings volume (14 vs 1). On rating, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
