Clear matching colors. Find a better move. Beat your own best. SameGameNow is a puzzle you can play at your own pace, with no time limit. MAKE THE NEXT GROUP Select matching blocks connected horizontally or vertically, then tap again to clear them. Blocks fall into the gaps, and empty columns slide left. Clear a small group to connect a bigger one, or take the group you have now—the order is up to you. TWO TOOLS, ONE GOOD MOMENT Clear One removes any single block. Swap exchanges two blocks of different colors, even when they are far apart. Each new game includes one free use of each tool. Choosing a target spends nothing until you confirm. After the free use, complete an ad to earn one extra use of your chosen tool. Each tool allows two uses per game: one free and one from an ad. Extra uses apply only to that game and do not carry over to a new game or a same-board replay. BUILD YOUR SCORE Bigger groups earn more block points. Finish with 10 or fewer blocks remaining for a bonus, and aim for a clean sweep. TRY THE SAME BOARD AGAIN Replay straight from the results. When a previous result exists for the same board and rules, compare your score and remaining blocks. Try a different order and work toward one personal best. PLAY A LITTLE, OR TAKE YOUR TIME • Save your current board and continue later • Learn by tapping a small practice board • Distinct block patterns help you tell colors apart • English and Japanese, with light and dark appearances • Regular play requires no account or internet connection REMOVE END-OF-GAME ADS Remove End-of-Game Ads is a one-time purchase. It removes ads shown when leaving results for another game or Home. After purchasing, optional ads for an extra tool use remain available only when you choose to watch. Purchases and ads are available in supported versions and regions. In-app purchases are offered in Japan. Check the purchase screen for current availability and prices.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: SameGameNow at none against Collect the Dots's 1. SameGameNow also leads on update cadence (every 3 days vs fortnightly). Collect the Dots's advantage is iOS requirement (13.0 vs 26.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
