A puzzle game that takes thinking and strategy. Move the wizard to push the orbs on top of the stars. Get all of the orbs on stars and the level is solved! You can use the 4-way direction pad or you can swipe up, down, left or right to move the wizard. You cannot pull orbs, they can only be pushed, and only one orb can be pushed at a time.
The Rock Game

- Simple objective: avoid taking the last rock
- Basic rules: take at least one rock per turn
- Single row selection per turn
- Deceptively challenging gameplay
- Classic Nim strategy

The objective of this game is very simple: do NOT be the one to take the last rock. This can be very tricky and deceivingly hard. The rules are also very basic: you must take at least one rock every turn, and you may not take rocks from two separate rows in the same turn. Try not to get stuck between a rock and a hard spot!

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: The Rock Game at none against Wizards Orb's 7. The Rock Game also leads on ads (none vs shown). Wizards Orb's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 80%) and update cadence (every 22 months vs every 49 months). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
