Every day, you are given a new starting configuration of Runes--tap on them to rearrange them into the correct pattern! Each Rune moves differently. Some Runes shuffle the other Runes in unique ways. Not all Rune movements are helpful. If you learn how a Rune moves today, that knowledge will stay with you for whenever it appears in another puzzle. Explore how each one works! Share your results with friends! Speedrun Mode: Once you know the solution for today, try to get from start to finish in as few moves as possible! "Heimdle" is inspired by "Heimdall," the Norse god who taught men how to write runes.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Heimdle* at none against Game Brain's shown. Heimdle* also leads on monetization model (free vs ad-supported) and device support (3 vs 1). Game Brain's advantage is ratings volume (7 vs 1). On price, rating, review sentiment and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
