かわいい写真を積んで、どこまで高く積めるかを競う「積みタワー」パズル。 SHIBA TOWER(シバタワー)は、あなたのカメラロールの写真から人物やペットを 自動で切り抜き、落ちてくる駒として積み上げる新感覚の物理パズルです。 写真はアプリが自動で被写体だけを切り抜き。輪郭どおりにカクッと噛み合うので、 積み方しだいでタワーは高くも、不安定にもなります。左右に動かし、くるっと回転させて、 ベストな角度でそっと重ねましょう。受け皿から駒がこぼれ落ちたらゲーム終了。 積んだ「個数」と「高さ」でランキングに挑戦できます。 写真がなくても大丈夫。最初からかわいい柴犬の駒が入っているので、すぐに遊べます。 ■ 特徴 ・カメラロールの写真が主役。人物・ペットを自動で切り抜いて駒にする ・輪郭でリアルに噛み合う物理演算。積み方しだいで結果が変わる ・片手でサクッと遊べるシンプル操作(フリックで移動・ボタンで回転) ・「積んだ個数」と「積んだ高さ」でGame Centerランキングに対応 ・崩れた瞬間のタワーを、1枚の写真として保存できる ・共有するときは顔を自動でぼかすので安心 ・柴犬の駒を最初から収録。写真を選ばなくてもすぐ遊べる ・一度読み込んだ写真はキャッシュ。オフラインでもサクサク遊べる さあ、あなたの思い出の写真で、世界にひとつ <プライバシー> 写真の判定・切り抜きはすべて端末内で処理され、写真が外部に送信されることはありません。

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: SHIBA TOWER at none against Identity V's 21. SHIBA TOWER also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 6 days vs every 2 weeks). Identity V's advantage is chart position (#51 vs unranked) and device support (3 vs 1). On price there is nothing between them.
