Ponchorado is a satirical Wild West survival-action game with roguelite elements, set in the 1930s cartoon style — taking place in the ruins of a never-finished western movie. Play as Poncho, a forgotten stuntman fighting his way through chaos, clichés, and caricatures in a desperate attempt to finally be seen — and maybe even win the BOSSCAR, the highest honor of the fictional Academy of Cinematic Constructs. But the prize is more than just a symbol of fame — it represents visibility, recognition, and the right to tell your own story. As Poncho, a never-credited side character, you’ll battle your way through a fragmented film world full of bizarre gatekeepers, lost scenes, and unleashed characters — all fighting for their place in a movie that was never finished. Your goal: Defeat all ten “Gatekeeper Bosses” to nominate yourself for the BOSSCAR — and maybe, at last, rise from forgotten extra to true leading role.
GridSampler

A small and fun app to easily create your own "soundboard" of samples. Hold a pad to record on it, and hit the pad to play the sound back. Allows users to record their own samples into a grid of 8 pads. The sounds are stored locally on the device, nothing is communicated over the network. Users have pitch and reverb controls as well.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: GridSampler at none against Ponchorado's 3. GridSampler also leads on ads (none vs shown). Ponchorado's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.0). On price there is nothing between them.
