Othello Puzzle turns the classic flipping game into short, clever end games. Every level is a position near the end of a game: find the moves that leave you ahead when the last stone is placed. The computer defends perfectly, so every win is earned. 120 LEVELS IN SIX WORLDS Each world brings a new idea. Start with pure end games, then play around rocks that block lines, anchored stones that never turn, gold squares that count double and flags you have to hold at the end. The last world mixes them all. STARS FOR THE BEST LEAD Win with the best possible lead for three stars. Stars open the next worlds, and the level map shows how far you have come. A NEW PUZZLE EVERY DAY The daily puzzle has a theme for each weekday. The calendar keeps a whole year of puzzles to catch up on, counts the days you solved each month and your daily streak. FREE GAME AGAINST THE COMPUTER Play a whole classic game from the opening. Choose the computer's strength: easy, medium, hard or ultra. 18 ACHIEVEMENTS Corners, big flips, perfect runs, streaks and more. Plays offline, in English and German, on iPhone and iPad.

Two moves. One push. No mercy. Overboard! is a fast, brutal two-player abstract strategy game. Slide your pieces into position — up to two moves per turn — then shove. Force any one of your opponent's pieces off the board and you win on the spot. Simple rules, deep tactics: • Squares move and push. Rounds only move — but they block like champions. • Every turn MUST end with a push. Run out of pushes and you lose. • After you push, the anchor locks your piece in place: no immediate counter-shove. • Rails guard the sides. The ends are open water. WAYS TO PLAY • Pass & Play — one phone, two players, zero setup • Play a Friend — Game Center invites, play at your own pace • Ranked Lobby — matched with strangers near your rating, with a full Elo system • Match History — replay any finished game move by move Learn it in two minutes with the built-in guide. Master it never.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Overboard! at none against Othello Puzzle's shown. Othello Puzzle's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
