Code: Xonix takes the concept of a very old game running on Windows 95 and adds many improvements. To win, you only need to clear 80% of the dark part in a time allotted while avoiding different types of enemies. You have at your disposal 2 modes: - Level mode, in which you have 25 levels with increasing difficulty. - The random mode that generates a game based on the enemies you have encountered in the level mode. You can play all levels and random mode. The only "in-app" purchase in this game is to remove the ad. Warning this game is not recommended for iphone 5, ipad 3 or less: risk of seriously ramming.

About

VOLTFIELD

Features
Read full description

VOLTFIELD is a neon arcade game about taking ground back, made in the spirit of the old classics Qix and Volfied. You fly a small ship along the edge of a grid. Swipe to turn. The ship never stops. Leave the safe edge and you draw a live wire behind you. Close the loop, and everything you cut off is yours. Enemies hunt your wire. One touch and the run is over. Claim enough and the exit gate opens. Leave, or keep carving for more stars. The enemies get angrier the deeper you cut. THE GRID • 100 handmade levels across 10 sectors • Burning walls, moving fire bars, rotors, arc gates, and currents that push your ship • 10 boss fights against the Wardens, each in its own arena • Boosters: homing bolt, pulse bomb, mines, ghost wire, breaker, overdrive DAILY VOLT • One new field every day, the same for every player • 3 attempts. Carve as much as you can, every percent counts • Share your result and challenge friends on Game Center leaderboards All graphics, sound and music are generated by code. No ads.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is update cadence: VOLTFIELD at every 5 days against Code's every 2 months. Code's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 26.0). On price, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
