The gameplay is focused on solving levels where each new level has a higher difficulty than the previous. The first round starts with an intuitive, animated tutorial. Game consists of six diverse worlds, each holding twenty-five levels. Each world is characterized by a different gameplay style. In the game we see the Gold Totem, which stands on various blocks. Those elements disappear on-click and move the whole construct. When we destroy a set amount of blocks and our Totem stands on any block, that seperates it from the ground, a countdown starts after which (if the Totem does not fall) the level is solved. A puzzle is not solved if the Totem touches the ground, falls off the edge or there are remaining clicks. -Fair gameplay with clear rules -Polished levels which do not lack many creative solutions -Marvelous and matching art style -150 levels -6 unique worlds Have fun!

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Gold Totem at none against TicStack's 2. Gold Totem also leads on iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.1). TicStack's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 5 months). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
