This game is a remake of a classic from the beginning of the home computer era, in the early 1980s. I tried to keep the charm of the old 8-bit game and combine it with new graphics and levels.

Verdict
The clearest difference is price: BoxCat at Free against PalletPusher's $1.99. BoxCat also leads on update cadence (every 8 days vs every 2 months). PalletPusher's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and device support (5 vs 3). On in-app purchases and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
