Boltloft
Read full descriptionHide full description
Boltloft is a charge-jump arcade climber about timing, aim, and nerve. Hold to charge, drag left or right to angle the arc, then release to launch your bolt toward the next shelf. The dashed preview shows exactly where you will land. NEW IN 3.0: STORM TRIALS 24 handcrafted towers in three chapters: Foothills, Thunderhead and Eye of the Storm. Each trial has a goal shelf, its own rules and storm mutators, and some race the clock. Clear it to unlock the next, then go back for all three stars by grabbing enough orbs and landing enough clean centre jumps. 72 stars to collect, all included. MODES - Storm Climb: the full storm. Stormy shelves end the run. - Zen Loft: relaxed climbing with no run-ending zaps. - Daily Climb: one date-seeded tower for everyone each day, with a ghost of your best run to race and a daily streak. - Blitz Climb: sixty seconds on the clock. - Bolt Range: a no-fail practice tower that tracks your clean-landing accuracy. RECORDS AND PROGRESS - Records: your top 10 runs in every mode, kept on this device. - Stats with a trend chart, run history, a daily calendar, fall heatmap and tower map. - Ten Tower Ranks, 32 achievements, weekly feats and 23 storm contracts. - Earn orbs to unlock 14 bolt skins and 4 tower biomes. Every unlock has a fixed orb price; nothing is randomized and nothing is sold. - Storm mutators (heavy air, crosswinds, fog, narrow shelves, glass floor) raise the challenge and the orb payout. PLAY YOUR WAY - Pause any time; leaving the app pauses the run automatically. - Assist Mode rings the next safe shelf and marks the charge that reaches it. - Reduced motion, a color-blind-safe palette, left-handed aim, adjustable charge speed and aim sensitivity, and Dynamic Type in the menus. - Back up your progress to a file and restore it on any device. Everything is included in one purchase: no subscription, no ads, no accounts, no tracking. Boltloft works fully offline.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Boltloft at none against Huggy Boy's 1. Boltloft also leads on ads (none vs shown) and price ($0.99 vs $5.99). Huggy Boy's advantage is iOS requirement (12.0 vs 17.0). On device support there is nothing between them.
