Prison
Read full descriptionHide full description
Prisonball is a two-player arcade game combining elements of the classic games Pong and Breakout. Two players control paddles on opposite sides of the court. Five brick walls are in the middle. Players compete for control over the three balls to break the walls down, brick by brick. Bricks from the red walls are worth 10 points each. Bricks from the cyan walls are worth 20 points each. Bricks from the green wall are worth 30 points each. Each game lasts 3 minutes. The player with the most points at the end of the game is the winner! The original Prisonball game was written by John Scarborough and published as a type-in program in the October 1986 issue of COMPUTE! magazine. Our modern remake captures the look and feel and gameplay of the original, but adapted for today's Apple devices.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Prison at none against Swordigo's 3. Prison also leads on ads (none vs shown). Swordigo's advantage is iOS requirement (11.0 vs 26.5). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
