Nilvo
Read full descriptionHide full description
Nilvo is a logic puzzle built on a simple idea that is hard to put down: share out layers of strokes among several cores so that each one reproduces its symbol exactly. Pieces never rotate, no stroke can repeat, and one mistake returns every layer. No luck involved. Every level has a solution, and you reach it by thinking. Simple mode Made for anyone who wants to play without fuss, older players included: turn it on in Settings and Nilvo opens with a single play button. One puzzle after another, free and endless, with no timer, no points and no account. It remembers where you left off and gets harder very gradually. What's inside • Over 1,250 levels: 250 in each of five difficulties, from Apprentice to Master, plus the Impossible tier for those who reach the end. • Time Attack: solve as many puzzles as you can before time runs out. • Infinite mode: endless generated levels, against the clock. • Relax mode: no timer, just the puzzle. • Private leagues with your friends: invite anyone from inside the app, and every league gets its own daily challenge and standings. • International League with divisions from Bronze to Legend. Your skill decides your division, not how long you have been playing. • Challenges with friends: Versus, of one, three or five levels or Time Attack, and Together, turn-based as a team. A score with each person and all your notifications in one place. • Sunday Cup: a quick tournament every Sunday evening. • On tablets, Face to Face: two people on the same screen. Fair play • No ads. • Cosmetics are only cosmetics: no avatar, phrase or accessory gives an advantage. • Competition scores are computed by the server. The full game Without an account you can play the tutorial, simple mode, the first five levels of each difficulty and Time Attack. The full game opens every level, the Impossible tier, Infinite and Relax modes, and more leagues and challenges.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Nilvo at none against Tribal Wars's shown. Nilvo also leads on update cadence (every 3 days vs every 5 weeks). Tribal Wars's advantage is iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.0). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
