Six game modes - Normal — keep cloning without hitting an old clone - Shuffle — the target changes to a different random emoji every time - Rush — 30 seconds to place as many emojis as you can - Impostor — find the one emoji that doesn't belong; fast finds can earn extra time - Bounce — catch the moving emoji while old clones become traps - Key Hunt — find the old key among a moving swarm of gold keys Easy, Normal, and Hard difficulties are available in Normal, Shuffle, Bounce, and Key Hunt.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: CloneE at none against Magician's Saga's shown. CloneE also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 2 months). Magician's Saga's advantage is iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
