Knockball is an exciting game designed to make you think outside the box to achieve a higher score. The goal couldn't be simpler - knock all the balls off the board without losing the golden ball. No time pressure though, take as long as you need to think your move through. The mechanics are extremely easy to learn, but you will need to think to get the perfect score. You are rewarded for playing smart! The less moves you take, the higher the reward. So if you enjoy games that make you think your moves through, Knockball is for you! However if you just want to let some steam off, there's nothing more satisfying than going wild and causing mayhem on the table or playing against an AI opponent and winning. Features: *There are 160 handcrafted levels of increasing difficulty *Play on a static board or against an AI opponent *Universal app for both iPhone and iPad *Realistic physics and sounds

A surreal, art-driven visual puzzle exploring the illusory binary between Others and Ourselves – a weird and wild dance of synchrony and divergence.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Metramorphosis at none against Knockball's 1. Metramorphosis also leads on update cadence (every 3 days vs every 2 months). Knockball's advantage is iOS requirement (9.2 vs 12.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
