Kodulki

Six little friends hide a code. Every guess returns one number: how many of them sit in the right place. Take your time, try a few ideas and see what you can work out. I made Kodulki for the moment when a puzzle clicks: three clues on the board, and suddenly only one code can be true. The friends are there to keep you company while you get there. WHAT'S INSIDE - The Kodulki: six colors, six characters. One of them greets you from the window every day, and they dance when you win. - A gentle start: a short tutorial with a friend as your guide, and in the first chapter you can check part of a row. - Campaign: 49 levels across seven chapters. Decoys, repeats, fog, frozen cells and chained codes. In Monochrome, the familiar colors give way to shades of gray. - Today's code: one puzzle per day, the same for the whole world. Weekend codes are harder and worth double. Keep your streak going and share your result. - Infinite: waves keep getting harder until one finally ends the run. - Duels at high noon: play a friend or a rival in real time, send a link to invite someone to your room, or race a run recorded by another player. - Leaderboard: a fresh race every week, plus the all-time ranking. Pick your own kodulka to show there and in duels. - Achievements: 18 goals across Campaign, Daily, Duels and Infinite, each with its own little scene. - Light and dark themes, soft sounds and haptics. Turn either off in Settings. A LITTLE HELP Earn marbles by clearing new Campaign levels, solving Today's code, winning online duels and unlocking achievements. Use them to reveal a color, reveal a slot you pick or take one more turn in Campaign and Infinite when hints are available. Today's code and duels stay hint-free. THE HONEST PART - Free. No ads. No payments. - Campaign, Infinite and Ghost Duels work offline. - No account needed for solo play. Sign in for cloud sync, online duels and the leaderboard. - Today's code needs an internet connection. - Marbles are earned through play and saved on your device. They cannot be bought with money. Just you, the code and a few friends.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Kodulki at none against Decode the Code's 5. Kodulki also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
