This is a classic match 3 mechanic, but unusual field geometry creates mind-twisting levels. Basically: - You can shift any line on the field by 1 step. - A line is either a diameter or a circle - you will get it as soon as you see the field. - Three or more same-colored dots arranged sequentially on any line disappear. - The goal is to clear the field. This game is for those who loves puzzles. Enjoy it!

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Popping Cubes! at none against Move the Dotz's 2. Popping Cubes! also leads on update cadence (every 2 days vs fortnightly). Move the Dotz's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (7.0 vs 11.0). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
