Download now and start the challenge! --- A Note from the Developer: My friend and I created the 3D version of this game in college in 2003. We were bored in class and would play connect four on paper during class, but got so good they would always end in draws. The 3D version really adds a lot of additional complexity and strategy. I vibe-coded this version using Cursor AI with Claude 3.7 and Gemini 2.5 Pro. I have never seen or written swift code before, and wrote less than 50 lines of code, mostly where it really wanted to change the rules of the 3D game. Enjoy!

Verdict

Rope Jam's advantage is ratings volume (24 vs 1). On price, rating, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
