Cozy Ball
Read full descriptionHide full description
A calm ball run above the sea. Roll a beach ball along a wooden pier, dodge obstacles, collect pearls and watch the ocean come alive around you. No ads, ever. Plays offline. NEW: NIGHT LIGHT BY THE SEA Tap Night Light and the ball rolls on by itself across the night sea, past lighthouses, to soft music. Pick a sleep timer of 15, 30 or 60 minutes: the screen gently dims, fades to black and lets the phone sleep. No pearls, no missions, just the sea. On iPhone Duo, stand it like a laptop on your nightstand: the sea on top, the timer below. Open it wider and the night gives way to dawn. CALM MODE Just want to roll? In Calm mode there is no game over: a hit only slows you down and the run goes on. No leaderboard and half the pearls, so it stays a quiet ride. Want a challenge? The classic run is still there. EASY, FORGIVING CONTROLS Hold the left half of the screen to steer left, the right half to steer right, and both halves to jump. No on-screen buttons. Ball control is smooth and forgiving, and a jump tapped a moment early still counts. SUNSET, LAGOON, NIGHT AND DAWN Roll from a golden sunset into a bright lagoon, through a night with a lighthouse beam, and on into the dawn. The farther you go, the more the sea changes. AN OCEAN FULL OF LIFE Dolphins leap beside the pier, a whale surfaces, seagulls drift overhead and a lighthouse blinks on the horizon. Sea life now shows up in every run. PEARLS, SKINS AND DAILY MISSIONS Collect pearls and unlock ball skins, from a beach ball to the Moon. Skins now cost fewer pearls, so you can unlock your first one in your very first session. Three daily missions bring bonus pearls. GAME CENTER In the classic run, compete for the longest distance on the Game Center leaderboard. NO ADS, EVER Cozy Ball has no ads of any kind. The optional Cozy Supporter Pack is a single payment: every current and future skin, an exclusive skin and unlimited revives. All regular skins can also be earned with pearls.

Dot Connect

Dot Connect is a quiet line-puzzle game for whenever you need five calm minutes. Connect matching dots with one flowing line and fill the whole board. No timer counting down, no score chasing you, just a puzzle at your own pace, in a garden that changes with you. WHAT YOU'LL FIND • 26 cozy, comic and dreamy gardens, each with its own night. Pick one, or let it change as you play. • Four board styles: soft card, wooden tray, notebook and frosted glass. • A fresh Daily Zen puzzle every day, and a quiet journey that grows as you play. • Taller boards on tall phones, and a roomy layout on iPad. • Gentle music-box sounds, with separate volume sliders for music and effects. • Save any garden as your phone wallpaper. • Hints when you want them: use one anytime, or watch a short optional video for 10 more. • Colorblind-friendly marks, one tap away. • Optional cloud save: pick a name and a cute dot icon, copy your save code and bring your game to a new phone. Erase it any time in Settings. CALM BY DESIGN • No timer. No score. No pressure. • Nothing to sign up for: cloud save is anonymous, with no email and no account. • A small banner ad sits at the top of the Home and play screens. Videos are always optional. • Miss a day and the streak forgives it. Dot Connect isn't trying to be the biggest puzzle game, just a genuinely calm one.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Dot Connect at none against Cozy Ball's 6. Dot Connect also leads on iOS requirement (14.0 vs 16.0). Cozy Ball's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price, update cadence and device support there is nothing between them.
