Tackt

Tackt is a one-tap precision game built around a single, pure idea: perfect timing. A shape moves — a needle sweeps, a bar bounces, a ring pulses — and somewhere on its path sits a small window. Tap the instant you're inside it. Dead center is PERFECT. Anywhere else inside is OK. Miss the window, or run out of time, and you lose a life. No power-ups, no pay-to-win. Just you against the moment. REFLEXES, NOT LUCK • Eight distinct shape modes — Dial, Bar, Pulse, Square, Triangle, Pendulum, Box, and Lock — unlocking as you climb through the stages, each with its own rhythm to learn. • Three difficulty tiers, Easy to Hard, each with its own leaderboard. • Consecutive PERFECTs build a streak worth up to +150% more points. Tap early in the window for a speed bonus worth up to +100% more. Every hit counts differently. PLAY WITH FRIENDS IN THE ROOM Add players, mark who's in, and pass the device around — Tackt tracks everyone's turn, scores the session, and keeps a running leaderboard for your group. RACE A FRIEND, LIVE Host or join a live race with a nearby player on a second device — no shared Wi-Fi required. Both devices play the exact same sequence of targets at the exact same moment, so the only thing that decides the winner is who reacts better. Every completed race builds your League — a running head-to-head record with your friends over time. No accounts, no sign-in. Just open it and play. Tackt — The Art of Controlled, Kinetic Timing.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Tackt at none against OneCast's 2. Tackt also leads on update cadence (every 9 days vs monthly) and iOS requirement (16.0 vs 18.0). OneCast's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
