Welcome to “Paddle Royale”, a new chill competition genre where you need to find an island faster than anybody. It’s super zen, and super fun. The competition resets every day, and it's time-based: You can join and race whenever you want! But that’s not all. You are given a Home Island that you can improve and customise at will! Start by building something, planting some trees, or modifying the landscape. Then you can go fishing, wander around the ocean, collect wood to craft items, or just relax. Anything you can think of, can be done. And we are constantly improving it with new content! Some tasks you can do to relax: • Decorate your island with 100+ items. • Grow your own crops: Corn, grapes, peaches... • Modify the layout of your island. • Collect wood and stone to craft cool items. • Complete daily jobs to get rewards. • Go explore the ocean. • Fish and catch many species. • Much more! We carefully crafted 1sland to make the whole game a really zen experience, and we are super excited to hear your feedback. Join our fantastic community on Discord: https://discord.gg/qumxEVz2Fa

Are you ready for a unique adventure like no other? Oxytone invites you to explore the depths of your mind while offering a tranquil escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life for those seeking relaxation. For more determined players, there are 99 challenges, colorful themes to unlock, and 12 meticulously designed maps. Oxytone is the ultimate puzzle game, equally easy to learn and challenging to master. Strive for the highest scores by creating the longest paths and achieving impressive combinations. Every move matters, and success depends on strategy and planning. You can discard tiles that don't fit your plan, but this reduces your pool of available tiles. To refresh it, you must fill tiles by guiding paths through them six times, deepening the mechanics further. Sound is an integral part of Oxytone, so I recommend playing with headphones. This will immerse you even deeper into the game. The sound design has been crafted with great care to create a unique and relaxing atmosphere, yet it can also deliver powerful moments when needed.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Oxytone at none against 1sland's shown. Oxytone also leads on review sentiment (75% vs 52%). 1sland's advantage is ratings volume (2.7K vs 99) and update cadence (weekly vs every 3 weeks). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. 1sland sells 9 one-off in-app purchases and Oxytone sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.5 for 1sland against 4.5 for Oxytone. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: 1sland has 2.7K ratings behind it against 99, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 52% of 1sland's written reviews are positive against 75% of Oxytone's.
1sland ships an update weekly, Oxytone every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 26, 2026 and October 27, 2026 respectively.
