Price, ratings, monetisation and update history for both games, side by side — with what reviewers say about each.
Orbiter Ext
Read full descriptionHide full description
It is a game that guides the locomotive to the goal by operating the points on the track. Touch the track to change the direction. The locomotive runs on coal, so it will stop when the coal runs out. Since coal is falling along the way, if it seems that you will run out, let's supply it even in a detour. Also, the gate is closed just before the goal, so let's go through the key and open the gate. Grades are determined by the elapsed time to the goal.
Running Sphere
Read full descriptionHide full description
Get the ball to the other side of the screen avoiding falling into the holes. Each level will add a new hole that will make the path harder for our protagonist. Use the device's tilt sensors to move the ball and prevent it from falling. How level can you get?, share it with the rest of the players and reach the number one.
