PostEingang ist ein Kurzspiel für zwischendurch: 30 Sekunden, ein volles Postfach, und du räumst so viel weg wie möglich. Die Vorgänge liegen als farbige Kacheln im Posteingang: Spam, Newsletter, Kalendereinladungen, FYI-Mails und Social-Benachrichtigungen. Tippe auf eine Gruppe aus mindestens drei gleichen Kacheln, und sie ist erledigt. Je größer die Gruppe, desto mehr Punkte. Wer schnell hintereinander trifft, baut eine Kombo auf. Ab einer Kette von vier läuft die Uhr langsamer, bei langen Serien bleibt sie kurz stehen. Ein Fehlklick beendet die Kette. Was liegen bleibt, meldet sich wieder. Ignorierte Absender tauchen erneut auf, ihre Vorgänge werden dringlicher und bringen beim Abarbeiten mehr Punkte. Hilfen im Postfach: – Umschlag: räumt alle Kacheln einer Farbe auf einmal – Kaffeebecher: hält die Zeit kurz an – Große Stapel ab zehn Kacheln bringen Bonuszeit – Postbox Zero: Geht nichts mehr, wird neu gemischt, dazu gibt es Punkte und Zeit Game Center Deine Bestleistung landet in der Bestenliste, 23 Erfolge warten auf dich. Fordere Freunde, Kolleg:innen oder ganze Gruppen heraus, für einen einzelnen Durchgang, 24 Stunden oder eine Woche. Ausstattung – Farbenblind-Modus mit angepasster Farbpalette – Musik und Soundeffekte – Spielt vollständig offline – Kein Konto, keine Werbung, keine In-App-Käufe Entwickelt von einem Verwaltungsbeamten, der sein Postfach kennt.

Verdict
The clearest difference is price: PostEingang at Free against ArcEmu's $1.99. PostEingang also leads on update cadence (daily vs every 2 weeks). ArcEmu's advantage is ratings volume (1.3K vs 1) and device support (5 vs 2). On rating, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
