A quiet board of moonlit tiles. A scythe, a star, a slender crescent. Match three of a kind and they leave the board as light. Nocturne is tile-matching made for whatever quiet minutes the day gives you: a stolen break, a long waiting room, the slow hour before sleep. No ads, no timers, no lives. Every board can be cleared, and when you lose, the game tells you how close you came. Every night brings one new board and a three-card reading to go with it. Crescent, Half, or Full Moon: the fuller the moon, the harder the night and the more it gives back. One attempt, and no streak to keep up if you miss one. - Hand-drawn celestial tiles: the tarot majors, the zodiac, the planets, and the phases of the moon - A nightly puzzle and reading, different every evening, free forever - Twelve hundred levels, each one tuned on its own, and the climb keeps going after that - Every level can be finished, and the deeper you go the harder they get - Tile backs, tile colors and backdrops, so the board can look the way you want it to - No ads. No timers. No lives. Nothing pulses at you. - A shuffle that only offers itself when it can actually help - Play a level in two or three quiet minutes Clearing boards earns Silver, and Silver buys the four provisions: Tides that send tiles back to the board, Undos, Shuffles, and Lanterns that light the hidden faces. It also buys the way the game looks. Nothing expires, and nothing is ever taken away. The one-time Luminary tier comes with a generous gift and a golden tile back of its own.

Verdict

The call

Hundreds's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 9) and ratings volume (17 vs 2). On ads and device support there is nothing between them.
