Your job is to lead the character Red to the next tube. You can draw lines on the screen that Red can roll or bounce on. As you clear the levels the game gets harder and you will be challenged with brain teasing problems. A clean good looking game perfect to open up when you are bored to clear some levels

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Slide ► at Free against Help Red's $1.99. Slide ► also leads on iOS requirement (6.0 vs 8.0). Help Red's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 9) and update cadence (every 2 days vs every 2 months). On ads and device support there is nothing between them.
