Save the chickens by placing a platform into the gaps on their way! The game trains the ability to follow several moving characters simultaneously. This is a fun game, but it also trains the brain and coordination. There are two basic modes of the game. The first one is a marathon mode, where the player tries to stay at a single level as long as possible, while the difficulty gradually increases with time. The second one is a fast-paced arcade with the number of gaps increasing on each next level.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Save at 5.0 against Screaming Cactus's 4.5. Save also leads on update cadence (every 4 months vs every 28 months) and iOS requirement (7.0 vs 13.0). Screaming Cactus's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ratings volume (8 vs 1). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
