Bend gravity. Touch every side. Side Slide is a physics puzzle about controlling gravity. Hold anywhere to aim, and release to send gravity that way. The ball falls, slides and flies across the ring. Touch every side to win, using as few gravity switches as you can. 41 handmade levels in four themed packs: • Basics: learn to slide, jump gaps and dodge red lava sides • Bounce: springy walls that fling you across the ring • Boost: pink pads that push you along • Stick: sticky walls that hold you until you switch Grab a green side to split into two balls, pass through floating orbs, and plan your route with the aim line, which shows where your ball (and its clone) will go and warns you before you hit red. Fewer switches earn better medals. Chase gold on every level, race the ghost of your best run, climb the Game Center leaderboards and unlock 21 ball skins along the way. • Free, with no ads and no in-app purchases • No data collected • Color-blind markers, sound, music and vibration settings

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Side Slide 360 at none against The Circle's shown. Side Slide 360 also leads on update cadence (every 3 days vs every 9 days). The Circle's advantage is iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.0). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
