Are you ready for a unique adventure like no other? Oxytone invites you to explore the depths of your mind while offering a tranquil escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life for those seeking relaxation. For more determined players, there are 99 challenges, colorful themes to unlock, and 12 meticulously designed maps. Oxytone is the ultimate puzzle game, equally easy to learn and challenging to master. Strive for the highest scores by creating the longest paths and achieving impressive combinations. Every move matters, and success depends on strategy and planning. You can discard tiles that don't fit your plan, but this reduces your pool of available tiles. To refresh it, you must fill tiles by guiding paths through them six times, deepening the mechanics further. Sound is an integral part of Oxytone, so I recommend playing with headphones. This will immerse you even deeper into the game. The sound design has been crafted with great care to create a unique and relaxing atmosphere, yet it can also deliver powerful moments when needed.

*NOTICE - TRY BEFORE YOU BUY* - Play the beginning for free. A one-time in-app purchase unlocks the full game. No ads. Falling asleep at 3AM, you close your eyes to the cheesy commercial of Dr. Pierce's dream therapy program. You wake up in an unfamiliar enviornment, only to realize that you're stuck in a dream - a dream where perception is reality. Welcome to Superliminal. Superliminal is a first-person puzzle game inspired perspective and optical illusions. Players tackle impossible puzzles by thinking outside the box and learning to expect the unexpected. This game features a wonderfully subdued world, an intriguingly voiced narrative, and things that are really weird.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ratings volume: Superliminal at 1.3K against Oxytone's 97. Superliminal also leads on rating (4.7 vs 4.5) and update cadence (every 8 days vs every 3 weeks). Oxytone's advantage is iOS requirement (12.0 vs 14.0). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Oxytone sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Superliminal sells 2 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Superliminal holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Superliminal has 1.3K ratings behind it against 97, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 75% of Oxytone's written reviews are positive against 72% of Superliminal's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Oxytone ships an update every 3 weeks, Superliminal every 8 days. The most recent releases landed on September 26, 2026 and September 29, 2026 respectively.
