Phys 1 vs Baselproblem
Price, ratings, monetisation and update history for both apps, side by side — with what reviewers say about each.
Phys 1
Engage in a physics-based puzzle adventure where you solve problems using specialized tools. Experience rapid feedback to learn and adapt, with randomized obstacles ensuring unique challenges. Explore concepts like kinematics, free fall, and projectiles.
- Physics-based puzzle solving
- Kinematics tools (time, displacement, velocity)
- Drag-and-drop equation solver
- Free fall and projectile exploration
- Randomized obstacles for replayability
- Experiential learning feedback

Phys 1 is a puzzle adventure that requires players to use tools in order to solve physics problems. Learning is enhanced through quick experiential feedback. Players must learn and adapt if they are to advance through the game. Obstacle randomization allows for unique problems for each player! Physics topics included kinematics (big 3 equations). Features: -Use the time tool to accurately measure how long it takes objects to go from point 1 to point 2. -Use the displacement tool to measure the distance (and direction) between two points. -The velocity tool is later unlocked to measure the speed (and direction) of quickly moving obstacles. -Use pres-set launch values and measured variables in a drag-and-drop equation to solve for unknowns. -Explore free fall and projectiles by solving for unknowns in order to make goals and predict time of flight.
Baselproblem

The Basel problem is a problem in mathematical analysis with relevance to number theory, first posed by Pietro Mengoli in 1650 and solved by Leonhard Euler in 1734.

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Phys 1 at fortnightly against Baselproblem's every 11 months. Phys 1 also leads on iOS requirement (9.0 vs 15.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
