A computer virus history game, from 1971 to 2016. Collect all power-ups, get all hearts to completely clean the level (virus) entering in the portal (that appear when you can finish!). You can play with the accelerometer (for the easiest levels) or the manual control (for complex levels). Level 1 is demonstrative, without obstacles. After level 3 the viruses become more hard to remove and your screen could start glitching... more and more. Are you able to clean all the 30 levels? If you like, please leave a positive feedback, if not, please send me an email with your suggestions (alberto.pasca [AT] gmail.com). thankyou

Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Match 3 at Free against Viruz's $3.99. Match 3 also leads on ratings volume (20 vs 2). Viruz's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (daily vs every 11 days). On rating, review sentiment, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
