Es handelt sich bei dieser App um die Umsetzung eines klassischen Brettspiels, das unter den Namen Reversi (s. Hinweis) bekannt ist. Ziel des Spiels ist es, möglichst viele Steine der eigenen Farbe durch geschicktes Platzieren zu erobern. Es kann allein gegen den Computer oder zu zweit gespielt werden. Die Spielstärke des Computers ist in drei Stufen einstellbar. Das Spielziel: Es geht darum, die Spielsteine des Gegners horizontal, vertikal oder diagonal zu umschliessen und die umschlossenen Steine zu eigenen zu machen. Wer zum Schluss die meisten Steine hat, hat gewonnen. Es gibt kein Unentschieden: Da der Anfangsspieler einen leichten Vorteil hat, gewinnt bei einem Gleichstand der zweite Spieler. Hinweis „Reversi“ ist möglicherweise eine eingetragene Marke des jeweiligen Rechteinhabers. Die Nennung erfolgt ausschließlich zu beschreibenden Zwecken und stellt keine Verbindung zum Markeninhaber dar.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: FlipChip at none against Mills's 3. FlipChip also leads on ads (none vs shown). Mills's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.6). On price there is nothing between them.
