About

Tiles Rush

Features
Read full description

The disc lights up in order. You tap the order back. Each round adds one more light, and the chain grows until your memory gives out. That is the whole game. No tutorial to sit through, no account to make, no timer counting down before you have understood what to do. FIVE WAYS TO PLAY • Classic — the chain grows by one pad each round and the tempo picks up. • Record run — one run until the first mistake. Everything rides on your personal best. • Free play — no losing and no rush. Tap around, learn the pads, invent your own rhythms. • 6 colors — six pads instead of four. More colours to tell apart, harder to hold in mind. • 8 colors — eight pads and the tightest sectors. The hardest test for your memory. A CAMPAIGN THAT ACTUALLY ENDS One hundred levels in ten chapters. A chapter opens when the one before it is done, so you always know how far you have come and how far is left. Your best score and the number of rounds played are kept for every mode. BUILT TO BE PICKED UP Rounds last half a minute. Nothing interrupts you between them: there are no full-screen ads in this game at all. A small banner sits under the buttons on the results screen, and after a lost round you may choose to watch a video to carry on — or tap Retry and start again. The choice is always yours. Works without a network. Nothing you do is sent anywhere: your settings and records live on your device and nowhere else. Free, with no purchases and no subscriptions. English, Russian, Ukrainian, Spanish and Italian.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Tiles Rush at Free against Glyn's $1.99. Glyn's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
