Since you can freely play in any stage, there are no particular rules nor goals to attain. When you feel satisfied, press the "End" button to go to the next activity. Monte-chan characters looking like plant seeds will be your guides. The more you play, the bigger Monte-chan's tree will grow. Recommendations for Playing 1. Color sorting Sort the many colorful candy-like balls into boxes according to their color: yellow, blue, green, and pink. People who like to be organized will enjoy putting the same-color balls into one box. 2. Color arrangement Put 100 balls into 100 lattice spaces. There are 20 balls in each of the five colors. Use the balls to create a picture or arrange them into a regular pattern. Arrange the balls any way you want. 3. Shapes Puzzle Fit the pieces into the simple, matching shapes. After finishing, press the "Again" button to see more different shapes. You can keep playing for a long time. 4. Matching pair Fit two shapes into each hole. Feels good when it snaps into place. You can keep playing this for a long time. 5. Sticking stickers Stick on stickers that keep appearing. There are also gold and silver stickers. You can use it on special spots, or stick on all gold and silver. 6. Fastening color clip There is a piece of paper and one clothespin in the same color. Feels good to pin paper in the same color. Or create your own color combinations. App Features *App for all ages. Six virtual homes to play in for free. *The longer you play, the bigger Monte-chan's tree grows.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: めざせ! ちずはかせ at none against Monte Puzzles's 1. めざせ! ちずはかせ also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 3 days vs every 4 months). Monte Puzzles's advantage is iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
