Then unlock Zen (no timer, no walls), Blitz (race the clock), Candy Shop (match and cascade), and Shopping Cart (connect and collect). Every mode plays differently. Every mode is built to keep you thinking. 5 CORE MODES: • Classic — rotate pipes, connect nodes, beat the walls • Blitz — race the clock, survive the pressure • Zen — no timer, no walls, just you and the puzzle • Candy Shop — match gems, cascade and score • Shopping Cart — connect items, collect rewards FEATURES: • Undo & hint system • Light and dark mode • No ads.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Pressure at none against GEARS's 9. Pressure also leads on ads (none vs shown). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
