"POPLINKS" is a puzzle game that link numbers. You can play carefully at your own pace without worrying about time. Since the number block rises on the board, let's touch the block. If you tap with more blocks linked than the number written on the block, it will be erased. When tap a block in other situations, the number written on the block decreases. The longer the link, the higher the score. Be careful not to let the rising blocks exceed the top edge of the board. Enjoy "POPLINKS"! *STAFF Game Planning & Programming: TOKUDA TAKASHI Game Graphic Design: TOKUDA AOI

かわいいモンスター達を制限時間内に４つ揃えて消せばゲームくりあ。 失敗するとりんごが無くなり、全部無くなるとゲームオーバー。 枠の中に同種類のモンスター４つを縦に揃えればモンスターが消えて制限時間が少しプラスになります。 全てのモンスターを消せばステージクリア、制限時間がポイントとして加算されます。 ポイントが1000を超えるとりんごが一個復活します。 りんごが０になればゲームオーバーです。 宝箱を消せば制限時間が大幅にプラスされるので、攻略の鍵になるでしょう。 ステージ数は100ですが、アップデートで追加予定です、楽しみにしていてください。

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: SortTheMonster at none against POPLINKS's 3. SortTheMonster also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (daily vs every 2 months). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
