An unlock code is encrypted in each of the boxes, and you can get it if you solve the puzzle. The tasks inside of all the boxes are absolutely logical, they contain no hidden buttons or doors - they are intended just to test your logical abilities. Most puzzles will require you to find digits, numbers, code words, as well as solve math problems. The game includes a system for generating puzzles. This means that every time you complete the game, all tasks and answers to them will be automatically generated and will not be repeated again. The game offers a gyroscope control feature, which lets you feel like you are really holding a box with puzzles in your hands. There is also an alternative control option for on-screen buttons. Will you be able to pick all the passwords and combinations hidden inside? Challenge accepted?!

Calculate your path. Consume your enemies. Escape the grid. Welcome to a puzzle experience where every move is a calculation and every enemy is an opportunity. In this grid-based strategy game, your objective is clear but the execution is unforgiving: navigate the labyrinth, consume enemies weaker than you to absorb their strength, and grow powerful enough to break through the final guards and reach the exit. But raw power isn't enough; you must chart a precise course. One wrong turn will leave you face-to-face with mathematically impossible traps and overpowered blockers. Do you take the most efficient route to survive, or do you risk it all to clear the board and devour the optional bosses? Key Features: - Strategic Grid Puzzles: Master over 200 meticulously designed levels where logic and route planning are your greatest weapons. - Risk vs. Reward Gameplay: Follow the critical path to secure the exit, or carefully map your movements to level up and conquer massive optional enemies. - Classic Pixel Art Aesthetic: Immerse yourself in a nostalgic, high-quality pixel art world across multiple unlockable zones. - Global Leaderboards: Push your progression to the limit and compete against players worldwide for the top rank. - Dynamic Difficulty: Experience a progression curve that constantly tests your spatial awareness and foresight as the grids expand and the traps grow deadlier.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Subterra at none against Inside the Box's shown. Inside the Box's advantage is iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
