The goal of SameGame is to get the highest score by removing as large areas of the same-colored gems as possible — bigger areas mean higher scores. It couldn't be simpler — the further you progress, the harder it is to reach the next level. Toggle the included ambient background music, play with shapes instead of colors.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: SameGame at none against Sudoku Mint's shown. Sudoku Mint's advantage is update cadence (every 4 days vs every 8 months) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
