Konpira
Read full descriptionHide full description
A traditional Japanese parlour game, played to the beat. Konpira Fune Fune is an ozashiki asobi — a banquet game from Kotohira, still played there today to the folk song of the same name. Two players take turns on the beat, reaching for a single cup or leaving it where it is. Misjudge whether it's there, and you lose. HOW TO PLAY • When the cup is on the table, take it — or leave it with an open hand • When you're holding it, keep it — or put it back • When your opponent has it, only a fist is safe: an open hand grabs at nothing • Hold the cup too many turns in a row, or miss your beat, and you lose • The longer you last, the faster the beat WAYS TO PLAY • Tabletop — lay an iPad or an unfolded iPhone Duo flat between you and sit across from each other. One table, one cup. • Bluetooth Battle — two iPhones, face to face. No internet needed. • Play vs Watch — one player on Apple Watch, one on the paired iPhone. • Solo — 15 levels, plus an endless mode on Easy, Normal or Hard. • How to Play — a short tutorial on the real board. No clock, no penalty. MADE FOR IPHONE DUO Stand it half-open like a laptop, and your opponent appears on the upper screen, sitting across the table from you. NO SIGNAL, NO ADS The idea came on a flight, so every mode plays offline. There are no ads, and every skin can be earned just by playing. In English, Japanese, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese and Swedish.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Long Roots at none against Konpira's 4. Long Roots also leads on update cadence (daily vs every 9 days) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 17.0). Konpira's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
