The Hanoi Towers also known as Towers of Hanoi, Tower of Brahma and Lucas' Tower, it's a puzzle with a mathematical solution consisting in three rods with a number of disks of scaled sizes from bigger to smaller, the smallest at the top like a conical shape. The objective of the game is to move all the disks from the left rod to the right rod in the minimal amount of movements, taking to count these 3 rules: * Only one disk can be moved at a time * Only the upper disk can be moved to another rod that can be empty or not * A disk can't be placed over a smaller disk The game is played by levels, each time all disk are taken to the right rod, the current level is finished and a new one begins, each new level adds a new disk to the left stack on the left rod making every new level more and more complex. Each time a level is finished, an end level dialogue appears with the following information: * The finished level number * The elapsed time used to complete it * A 3 Stars rank for: The Hanoi Towers also known as Towers of Hanoi, Tower of Brahma and Lucas' Tower, it's a puzzle with a mathematical solution consisting in three rods with a number of disks of scaled sizes from bigger to smaller, the smallest at the top like a conical shape.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: The Hanoi Towers at none against PressNode's 1. The Hanoi Towers also leads on device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.0). PressNode's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 4 days vs every 16 months). On price there is nothing between them.
