Breakout meets Metroidvania. Experience the adventures of BALL and PADDLE as they try to escape from an old, abandoned laboratory. Find lots of hidden items and mysterious SpinFlavors to make your way to freedom. Defeat spiders, robots and who knows what else without being destroyed. And whatever you do, make sure you stay away from the ominous VOiD, because there is (almost) no escape from it. This game is aimed at real players - not casual gamers. If you count yourself among them, please move on, don't stop and don't even try to master the game - you won't make it anyway. Because it honors the virtues of the golden gaming era of the 80s and 90s. Not every little step is chewed out for you, but you have to figure out a lot on your own, develop strategies to defeat bosses and solve the odd puzzle by finding hidden clues and applying the knowledge distilled from them. All things that are rarely required in today's games. And best of all: the game really is FREE. No in-app purchases, no pay-to-win, no free-to-play and no microtransactions. It doesn't annoy you with ads or unnecessary waiting time and can be played completely offline. Original Soundtrack available on Soundcloud: https://soundcloud.com/user-803137355-375735371/sets/lab-junk-ost It would be nice if I could at least refinance the Apple developer account with my apps (let alone the expensive Macbook on which I developed Lab Junk), but that will probably always remain a dream as long as my apps only achieve download figures of 200 despite a price of 0.

It's super simple to play, but only a few would be able to reach the final stage. Play hard to become the best gamer on Earth! โ So simple, so super hard To play Cash Step!, just tap the screen. But, although you can have a clear view of the stage, you will have hard time to clear. โ Warning: super hard! Cash Step!'s difficulty might be beyond your imagination. Please be aware and try not to throw your smartphone onto the floor even if you can't clear. โ Super Hard, yet Fun A stage designer with a music background prepared 36 delicious stages full of both thrill and looseness. โ More immersive than one of those "impossibly hard video game" The powerful beat and melody synchronizes with the character's motion to let you immerse in the game. You will get a great sense of accomplishment when you complete the super hard stages! โ Harder for people with good sense of rhythm? Cash Step!'s stages contain many subtle rhythmical traps. Just one jump can generate a whole different groove. Enjoy a different sense of music than the stereotypical Music Games. Maybe you could train your sense of rhythm while playing those super hard stages?! โ Play more to train your reflexes! Cash Step play is very physical. With Steps!, Experience the same kind of thrills you felt in your childhood's outdoor play! Please note, that it is a simulation, and the money you accumulate is in-game currency only. There is no way to withdraw or convert the currency into real money. We hope for your understanding!

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Lab Junk at none against Cash Step's shown. Cash Step's advantage is iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.0). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
