Five devices. One cable. Keep everything alive. One Cable is a fast, endless survival game about triage under pressure. Notch, Island, Duo, Mini, and Pro are all draining at once, and you've only got one charger to share between them. Drag the plug to whoever's closest to zero, then drag it away the instant somebody else turns critical. That's the whole game. It's never quite that simple. HOW IT WORKS - Five devices drain continuously and independently, each at its own rate. - One shared cable charges only one device at a time. Plugging into a new one instantly unplugs the last. - The run ends the moment any single device hits 0%. - Nothing is random, anywhere. Every run starts from the same battery levels, so when you get better, you feel it. POWER-UPS YOU EARN, NOT ROLL FOR - Charger tiers: score enough points and your shared charger upgrades from 5W to 20W to 30W to 45W, speeding up every future charge. - Battery Bank: a second, independent charger available from the first second of every run. Drag it onto any device for backup power that never causes a game over on its own. - Low Power Mode: unlock the ability to slow one device's drain with a tap, and move the effect wherever you need it most. Every one of these is earned by playing well, never handed out at random, and resets cleanly when you restart, so each run is a fair shot at your best score. DESIGNED FOR QUICK SESSIONS Runs last anywhere from a few seconds to several minutes, depending on how well you triage. Can you keep five devices alive with a single cable? Find out how long you last.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: OneCable at none against The Program's 10. OneCable also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). The Program's advantage is ratings volume (41K vs 4) and chart position (#42 vs unranked). On price, update cadence and device support there is nothing between them.
