点击屏幕左侧就往方块就往左,右侧就往右,中间偏上就旋转当前方块,中间偏下就加速下落。好好利用彩色方块会穿透,黑色方块是核心这两个基本特性,一旦消去黑色方块就能消去其控制的彩色方块,关卡越往后方块越奇葩,实在不知道怎么处理就让彩色方块伸出窗外。每一关的背景图片都是实地拍摄的,大部分来自于威海市,小部分来自中大南校区和东校区。

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Arkanoid at 100% against ice box's 25%. ice box's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
