Get the ball to the other side of the screen avoiding falling into the holes. Each level will add a new hole that will make the path harder for our protagonist. Use the device's tilt sensors to move the ball and prevent it from falling. How level can you get?, share it with the rest of the players and reach the number one.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Running Sphere at none against Boats !'s 2. Running Sphere also leads on update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 31 months). Boats !'s advantage is iOS requirement (5.1.1 vs 15.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
