A true 8bit classic top down shooter originally released in 1985 by Jon Williams and with kind permission re-written for your enjoyment. This re-make sticks closely to the original game we all knew and loved: Using the quick firing terror tank you must penetrate the city of the Berks and collect 21 keys, all of which are heavily entombed in heavy building blocks. Once these have been collected, you gain access to the Inner Sanctum. Your task goes on - blasting your way to 4 more keys you may enter the Heart of the Inner Sanctum. Once inside, 10 more keys must be collected before you gain entry into the Berks' Sacred Treasure Chamber. This treasure must be recovered before you can complete your task. The Berks are after you, the Drones are after you, even the protective blocks will destroy you on impact. You are given 5 lives, you can gain extra lives up to a maximum of 9, by recovering the hearts scattered around the City. Extra Information: Play left or right handed, your first touch becomes your direction control and your second touch activates your blaster. You terror tank remains stationary whilst firing and you can direct your blaster with the first touch.

Cubetastic is the brick-breaker you remember, polished into something you'll want to open every day. Tilt the screen, slide the paddle, and watch a tiny arena come alive with sparkles, soft glows, and confetti when the last brick falls. Levels are short, the controls are pure thumb, and the camera leans in for the final brick so you feel every shot. WHAT'S INSIDE - A handcrafted arena. Soft glass walls, gentle parallax as you tilt your device, and a ball that sparkles as it travels. - Five power-ups that actually change how you play. Multiball for chaos, wide paddle for breathing room, shield for one mistake forgiven, slow ball for the tense final brick, and extra life when you really need it. - Eleven holiday themes that rotate through the year. New Year, Valentine's, St. Patrick's, Sakura, Easter, Cinco de Mayo, Wimbledon, Independence Day, Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas - each with its own palette, decor, and flair. - Daily challenges. A new objective every day, plus XP toward a profile that levels up over time. - Cosmetic unlocks. Earn paddles, balls, and trail effects as you play. - Deuce mode. The final brick triggers a dramatic 10-second slow-mo finish, complete with a deeper camera zoom and pulsing alarm light. - Game Center support. Compare runs with friends and chase leaderboard slots. - Built for iOS 17+ with RealityKit. Smooth 60fps motion, low battery cost, and full support for iPhone and iPad. WHO IT'S FOR If you played Arkanoid as a kid, or you just want a five-minute palate cleanser between meetings, Cubetastic fits in your pocket - just bricks to break and a calm, sparkly arena to break them in.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Berks 3 at none against Cubetastic's 1. Cubetastic's advantage is device support. On price and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
