PALINGENESIS is a music video game. The album by GRIGS unfolds as a series of interactive animated worlds, with each environment built around a different song. Created entirely by animator and musician John Paul Grigsby, PALINGENESIS brings together hand-crafted animation, interactive environments, and visual sequences that appear as you move through each world.

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: PALINGENESIS at none against Penalty 2D's 2. PALINGENESIS also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 9 days vs every 22 months). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
