About

caromball

Features
Read full description

Caromball is paper soccer — the classic pen-and-paper grid game everyone doodled in their school notebooks. Pure strategy: not a single random element, everything comes down to calculation. Simple rules, endless mastery. Guide the ball across the grid to your opponent's goal. A bounce off a line or the boards earns a bonus move — build long combo chains and score from where your opponent least expects. FEATURES • Three AI levels — from beginner to a serious opponent that thinks five moves ahead and sets multi-move traps. • Online matches with friends via Game Center — challenge a friend and play turn by turn at your own pace. • Two-player on one device — pass the iPhone back and forth. • Combo mechanic: bounces grant a bonus move — what sets paper soccer apart from tic-tac-toe. • Clean dark theme, haptics and sound. • Fully offline — AI and pass-and-play work without internet. No ads and no paywalled levels. Just pick it up and play.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: caromball at none against Fruit Salad's shown. Fruit Salad's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.0). On price and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
