Pug Pick
Read full descriptionHide full description
Every pug has a perfect place. Pug Pick is a gentle silhouette puzzle game about putting a picture back together. Each scene begins with its pugs missing, leaving only the shapes where they belong. Find the pug that fits, drag it home, and watch the storybook picture come to life one character at a time. No timers. No scores. No lives to run out. Finish a level in a minute or take your time. Nothing is counting. FIND THE FIT The silhouette is your clue. Early pugs are easy to spot. Later, when eight or ten overlap into one big shape, you may be studying an ear, a tail, or a tilted hat to work out who belongs where. COLLECT THE CAST Every pug you place joins your album. Meet a chef, pirate, firefighter, astronaut, and a sleepy grey pug who has never been awake for the interesting part. Each has a name and a small story. Some completed scenes hide a golden pug. Find one to earn its own gold frame. PUZZLES THAT KEEP GROWING Pug Pick is an ongoing collection of cozy puzzles, with fresh scenes, new pug combinations, and more characters to discover over time. There is always another picture waiting. MADE TO BE CALM • No ads • No timers, scores, or lives • Play at your own pace • Works offline for normal play • No account, tracking, or personal data collection Just pugs and a picture waiting to be finished.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Pug Pick at none against Code Busters's 10. Pug Pick also leads on ads (none vs shown). Code Busters's advantage is chart position (#16 vs unranked) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.6). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
