Easter is approaching, and all eggs needs to be sorted.. However someone has planted bombs and clocks so it won't be easy! Are you up for the challenge? - Match 3 or more items to add them to the basket. - Picking up clocks will increase the speed of which items fall, however you can blow them up instead to avoid it. - Blowing up a chicken will result in a penalty of one row, so watch out if you are about to hit the roof! - Bombs will detonate randomly, and can be difficult to predict. - Mega bombs (Turquoise) will clear the whole screen when detonating. - Additional score will be awarded the longer a streak is continued. “Rated for ages 13+ by IGRS (Indonesian Games Rating System).”

Eldershyft is a match-3 puzzle game with unique gameplay. Instead of swapping individual tiles, you move entire paths across a hexagonal board in 6 directions, opening up cascades, combos, and strategies. Set before the days of Eldermyth, you take control of the Curator of Lands to build the mystical Island whilst trying to tame the Beasts that have followed you from your realm. 

As you grow stronger, will you choose to focus your powers on board manipulation, Beast management or score multipliers? Or, maybe a combination of them all! Two ways to play - Endless Mode: Push for the highest score on the world leaderboard. Survive as long as possible as enemy pressure escalates and the Island becomes more complex - Challenge Mode: Settle the Island by reaching level 5 on each land type in the least amount of turns possible. Each turn counts even more in this mode Deep strategy. Pure puzzle - Cascading matches and board refill from 6 directions reward planning and positional awareness - Ever changing board from multiple different mechanics at play - A rich progression system with stackable bonuses, passive and consumable abilities, and permanent multipliers - No timers. No pay-to-win. Pure strategic depth Fully accessible - Complete VoiceOver support with full gameplay narration, accessible drag-and-drop path building, as well as colour-blind and high contrast settings Try for free before purchasing the full game!

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: EggSort at 100% against Eldershyft's 50%. EggSort also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 2) and iOS requirement (14.5 vs 18.6). Eldershyft's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.2) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 6 weeks). On price, ratings volume, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
