A game inspired by Into the Breach and Baba is You in which you push enemy robots into water by moving the earth beneath your feet! Push tiles by tapping an adjacent tile in your desired direction. When you do, your tile pushes every other solid (non-water) tile in front of you in that direction. You cannot, however, push toward a mountain tile. Whenever you move, each enemy's action timer decreases by one. When it reaches zero, they attack the endangered space(s) in front of them. Destroy enemies or tiles by pushing them off of the edge or into chasms. Destroy all enemies without dying to complete the level!

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: MiSudoku at 3.0 against Caldera Tropics's 1.7. MiSudoku also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 26 months). Caldera Tropics's advantage is ratings volume (12 vs 1) and review sentiment (13% vs 0%). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
MiSudoku holds the better App Store score, 3.0 against 1.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Caldera Tropics has 12 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 13% of Caldera Tropics's written reviews are positive against 0% of MiSudoku's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Caldera Tropics ships an update every 26 months, MiSudoku every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
