Bring the blade home. A cannon rides a rail along the bottom of the screen. It throws straight up — that is the only shot you get. Above it, a target bar swings left and right, carrying small coloured zones you have to pin. Between you and it, blocker bars slide across the lane. A knife that hits one embeds in it and rides off the side of the screen, gone. So every throw is a prediction of two moving things at once: will my column still be clear when the knife gets up there, and will the zone be over it when it arrives? Knives are limited. The board is on a clock. Pin every zone to clear it and move on. HOW IT PLAYS - Drag to place the cannon, lift your thumb to throw. One hand, the whole game. - Knives stick where they land — the board ends up telling you your own story. - The bar swings fast through the middle and hangs at the ends. The edges are the easy shot. You work that out yourself; nothing tells you. - Blockers are big, slow and completely readable. Getting caught by one is always a shot you could have not taken. PAINT AS YOU PLAY - A pixel picture lies on the floor under your cannon. Every zone you pin throws its paint onto it. - You paint what you hit: the colours on the target are the colours the picture still needs. - The picture carries over between runs, so even a short run adds to it. Finish one to earn sparks and start the next. WHAT CHANGES - Boards escalate: more zones, narrower zones, a faster swing, longer blockers, less ammo, less clock. Every fifth board is a peak, and the one after it gives you room to breathe. - Reach board 6, 11 or 16 and you permanently unlock starting there. No grinding an opening you have already beaten. - Earn sparks for every board cleared, and spend them before a run on extra knives, extra time, or an extra life. - Three lives. Running out of knives or running out of clock each cost one. No energy meters. No waiting. A lane, a swing, and how well you read it.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Rebound at none against Hardcore Invaders's 4. Hardcore Invaders's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
