Dreh' den Turm, um den Ball an allen Hindernissen vorbeizulassen und die höchste Punktzahl zu erreichen. Falle mehrere Ebenen hinunter, um genug Schwung aufzubauen, damit Hindernisse leicht überwindet werden können. Längere Stürze werden mit noch mehr Punkten belohnt, also lass dir das nicht entgehen! Aber pass auf! Rote Hindernisse lassen deinen Ball zerbrechen, wenn du nicht genug Kraft zum Durchbrechen hast! Erlebe diesen neuen Retro-Hit und komme so weit wie möglich!

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Neon Tower at none against Paper.io 2's 10. Neon Tower also leads on update cadence (every 6 days vs every 3 weeks) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). Paper.io 2's advantage is chart position (#6 vs unranked). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
