Don’t let the cute graphics deceive you - this game is HARD. It’s so difficult, that if you get a perfect score on the free levels, you get the rest of the levels for free. The goal sounds easy - all you have to do is make each circle at least zero. The trouble is there are gazillions of moves you can make, and just one will give you a perfect score. Oh, and there are no hints. There are also no ads, subscriptions, tracking, or anything else you wouldn’t want. If you can’t achieve a perfect score on the free levels, you can always admit defeat and pay to unlock the other levels ;) This game is inspired by the dollar game maths puzzle as seen on Numberphile. Don’t expect that to help you though - Zero Below Zero has been made much more difficult!

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Link The Dots at none against Zero Below Zero's 1. Link The Dots also leads on iOS requirement (11.0 vs 14.3). Zero Below Zero's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 6 months vs every 19 months). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
