Kintsugi
Read full descriptionHide full description
Legend has it that once every few hundred years the heavenly spheres crack open and Tiangou, the Celestial Dog, rises from the abyss. This time it cast its shadow over the Altar of Heaven, and the Vessels of Light shattered into hundreds of shards. Without them, Cilong the Porcelain Dragon loses its glow, and the Dog devours the Sun. You are the last master of the golden seam. Every vessel you mend gives a little light back to the Dragon. PIECE IT TOGETHER IN 3D The shards lie scattered across a tray. Pick one up with a finger, turn it with two, and fit it to the vessel. Every piece has its own place and its own angle. When it fits, it snaps in and the crack fills with gold, just like the Japanese art of kintsugi. 75 VESSELS FROM FIVE DYNASTIES Qing, Ming, Yuan, Song and Tang: from blue-and-white vases and lotus bowls,through celadons and "hare's fur" tea bowls, to sancai jars. Every vessel hasits own shape and pattern, and each comes with a short note on its history. FREE THE DRAGONS Each dynasty's dragon draws its power from its vessels, and without them itfades. Each era is fifteen vessels along a dragon's back. Mend them all andthe dragon regains its colours and takes flight, opening the way to the next era. A GROWING CHALLENGE A short tutorial on the first vessel teaches you every gesture. The firstvessels break into just a few pieces; later ones shatter into ever smallershards. You have five minutes for each vessel, and when you get stuck, a hintshows you the next piece. A CALM, PAINTERLY WORLD Ink-painted landscapes, cranes in the distance, music for every dynasty, and the ring of porcelain at every touch. Once a vessel is whole, turn it aroundand admire it from every side, like in a museum display case. PLAY WITHOUT ADS The game is free.

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Kintsugi at every 3 days against Cat Bird!'s every 16 months. Cat Bird!'s advantage is iOS requirement (16.4 vs 18.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
