PrintRun
Read full descriptionHide full description
Three stencils. Two inks. The order you print in changes the answer. PrintRun is a puzzle game built around risograph printing. You pick a stencil, move it into place, choose an ink, and print. Inks blend where they overlap, and the number of passes is limited — so the order you print in decides what you end up with. Most boards can be finished in more than one way. Finishing is one thing; finishing in fewer passes is another. Once you have finished a board, try improving your score. WHAT'S INSIDE • Today's Puzzle — one board a day. Same date, same board, for everyone. • Edition — 37 boards that introduce one rule at a time. • Endless — difficulty rises and falls with how you play. • Room to improve — revisit completed Edition boards and aim for the optimal score. QUIET BY DESIGN • No account, no sign-in. • Plays offline. • Your progress stays on your device. • Every board has a solution and a calculated optimal score. ACCESSIBILITY • VoiceOver labels on every screen. • Inks are told apart by pattern as well as colour. • Respects Reduce Motion and Dynamic Type, including the accessibility sizes. Available in 한국어, English, 日本語 and 简体中文.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: PrintRun at none against Pill Fortress's 10. PrintRun also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 2 weeks). Pill Fortress's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 16.0). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
