Unique shapes of colored blocks drop from the top. Your task is to avoid letting the stacked blocks reach the top by arranging them in complete rows across the bottom. A completely filled row vanishes, giving you more opportunities to score. This game requires superior finger-eye coordination to arrange the shapes quickly, and it gets faster with time. Enjoy!

Smart Slide
Read full descriptionHide full description
Smart Slide is a brain game and logic puzzle played by sliding colored blocks. Get every block to the target of its own color — but watch out: blocks don't stop halfway, they slide until they hit a wall, an obstacle or another block. And every level has a move limit. Random swipes won't work. To win this block puzzle, you plan the order of your moves ahead: which block should go first so it becomes a wall for the next one? A short thinking break, a fun brain workout. HUNDREDS OF LEVELS — A NEW MECHANIC IN EVERY CHAPTER • One-way cells: pass only in the arrow's direction • Fragile floors: cross once, then they collapse • Locked cells: deliver the key-colored block to its target first • Teleport portals: enter one end, exit the other • Paint cells: your block changes color, so should your plan • Ice arrows and sticky floors: one keeps you sliding, the other stops you • Pushable crates, patrolling blockers, switch gates and more It starts with easy levels and gets harder step by step. When a new mechanic arrives, the game explains it with a short card, so you're never stuck without knowing what to do. New chapters keep coming with updates. MASTER CHAPTERS — IF YOU WANT THEM • Optional master chapters for players who want a challenge • Every mechanic you have learned, on the same board • Too hard? Skip them — they never block your progress DAILY CHALLENGE • A new puzzle every day, the same for everyone • Build a streak, complete the month, earn your badge WHY SMART SLIDE? • Learn it in seconds, mastering it takes time • Every level is computer-verified to be solvable — no broken levels • Find the shortest solution, collect 3 stars, beat your own record • Stuck? The smart hint shows the next correct move • If you hit a dead end, the game warns you, so you don't waste moves • Color-blind mode: blocks are also told apart by shape • Permanent upgrades in the workshop, daily rewards and quests • No internet needed: play on a plane, on the road, in a queue • Comfortable on phones and tablets If you enjoy logic games like sudoku and sliding blocks, Smart Slide's calm but thought-provoking puzzles are made for you. A brain game that keeps the mind sharp, for kids and adults alike. Think first, then slide!

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Smart Slide at none against Tico's 3. Smart Slide also leads on update cadence (every 5 days vs every 2 weeks). Tico's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (7.0 vs 15.0). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
