Read full descriptionHide full description
Slide. Merge. Pop! Merge Stack: Color Block is the satisfying color puzzle that's easy to learn and hard to put down. Swipe to slide the blocks across the board, line up matching colors, and stack five of the same color to make them burst. One clean rule, endless clever moves. Every swipe shifts the whole board, so the fun is in planning ahead. Set up chains, clear crowded columns, and keep your grid open for the next move. Simple to pick up, tricky to master.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Merge Stack at none against HEX !'s 1. Merge Stack also leads on update cadence (every 2 months vs every 11 months). HEX !'s advantage is iOS requirement (12.6 vs 15.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
