Reversi is a strategy board game for two players, played on an 8×8 uncheckered board. There are sixty-four identical game pieces called disks (often spelled "discs"), which are light on one side and dark on the other. Players take turns placing disks on the board with their assigned color facing up. During a play, any disks of the opponent's color that are in a straight line and bounded by the disk just placed and another disk of the current player's color are turned over to the current player's color. The object of the game is to have the majority of disks turned to display your color when the last playable empty square is filled. Reversi was most recently marketed by Mattel under the trademark Othello.

点击屏幕左侧就往方块就往左,右侧就往右,中间偏上就旋转当前方块,中间偏下就加速下落。好好利用彩色方块会穿透,黑色方块是核心这两个基本特性,一旦消去黑色方块就能消去其控制的彩色方块,关卡越往后方块越奇葩,实在不知道怎么处理就让彩色方块伸出窗外。每一关的背景图片都是实地拍摄的,大部分来自于威海市,小部分来自中大南校区和东校区。

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: ice box at none against Othello's shown. ice box also leads on monetization model (free vs ad-supported) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 13.0). Othello's advantage is review sentiment (45% vs 25%). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
