minimalgames is a pocket game console: twelve original mini games that open instantly, take seconds to learn, and are easy to come back to. Free to try: every game can be played three times, and the daily challenge is always free. One single purchase then unlocks everything, forever. No ads, no subscriptions, no accounts and no internet connection required to play. Everything works exactly the same in Airplane Mode. THE GAMES • Fold — Slide tiles and merge equal numbers. Three merges in one move is a fold and doubles the points. 4×4 or 5×5. • Strata — Stack falling pieces and clear lines. Classic pace or Zen. • Lift — Tap to keep the ball aloft and thread it through the gates. • Trail — Grow the line, catch the timed bonus, don't cross yourself. Walls or wrap-around. • Rebound — Keep the ball in play and clear the wall. Hard bricks take two hits. • Recall — Turn cards to find every pair in as few moves as possible. 20 or 30 cards. • Shift — Slide numbered tiles back into order. Every board is solvable. • Flip — Tapping a cell flips its neighbours. Turn every light off. • Echo — Watch four pads light up, then repeat the sequence. • Pulse — A ring grows and shrinks. Tap on the beat. • Trio — Three in a row against the machine. Classic or Expert. • Tower — Drop sliding blocks and keep them aligned.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: minimalgames at none against Crossword's shown. Crossword's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
