Linear
Read full descriptionHide full description
Linear is a fast-paced numerical logic puzzle where your brain meets the clock. You’re given a 7×7 matrix filled with random numbers from 1 to 9. A target number between 1 and 50 appears—and the race begins. Your mission is simple yet thrilling: within 20 seconds, find three consecutive numbers in a straight line (horizontal, vertical, or diagonal). Combine the first two using multiplication or division, then add or subtract the third number. If your final answer matches the target, you win the round! Linear is designed to sharpen logical thinking, improve math reflexes, and boost decision-making speed. Perfect for puzzle lovers, students, and anyone who enjoys a quick mental challenge. Every round is fresh, fast, and highly addictive. Can you solve it before time runs out?"

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Linear at none against Royal Kingdom's 19. Linear also leads on update cadence (daily vs fortnightly). Royal Kingdom's advantage is chart position (#4 vs unranked) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.6). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
