Aquaplane
Read full descriptionHide full description
Aquaplane offers a side-scrolling action gaming experience, taking inspiration from water skiing. As players take command of a speedboat, the real challenge unfolds with a waterskier being towed behind. Steering the speedboat through hazards while adjusting speed becomes an intricate task, as the waterskier moves in tandem but with subtle variations in direction. This nuanced movement adds a layer of difficulty, making even smaller gaps a perilous challenge to navigate. The initial round begins with a simple setup featuring rocks and a handful of logs to familiarize participants with the terrain. Subsequent rounds will escalate in complexity, introducing additional obstacles such as more logs, squids, ships, and so forth.

And don’t miss your footing, because it’s a long way down… Instructions * Tap the screen to jump, (and to ascend stairs) * Avoid the holes in the floor, and the scary, grabbing hands * If you do get caught, tap to escape * Just keep going! In-app purchases * The first two levels are free to play * A single in-app purchase unlocks the whole game permanently: levels 3 to infinity

Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Aquaplane at Free against Scarecase's $1.99. Aquaplane also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 1) and update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 10 months). Scarecase's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 16.6). On device support there is nothing between them.
