SIMPLE TO LEARN, HARD TO MASTER Square Falls is a match-3 puzzle game that will keep you hooked for hours! Swap colorful squares to create matches, trigger massive chain reactions, and unlock powerful special candies that explode across the board. SPECIAL CANDIES & POWER-UPS - Striped Candies - match 4 in a line to clear an entire row or column with one move - Wrapped Candies - match in a T or L shape for a single massive explosion - Color Bombs - match 5 or more in a line to destroy every square of one color! GAME FEATURES - 45 hand-built levels across 3 themed worlds, then Endless Mode keeps generating fresh boards forever - Levels are not all the same task - score targets, collecting a candy color, popping blockers, clearing jelly and pulling off big combos, mixed in from early on - Board shapes beyond the classic square - bowls, diamonds, crosses, hourglasses and more, each with its own layout - Obstacles to work around: icing and chocolate blockers, licorice locks and cages, and jelly to clear - Strategic combo system with score multipliers, plus a Fever Mode for sustained cascades - Star rating system - earn up to 3 stars per level - Limited moves add strategic depth, with up to two free rescue offers if you run out - Shuffle power-up when you are stuck - or a free automatic reshuffle if the board itself runs dry - A winding world map - your progress as a journey, not a grid - Auto-save progress - pick up where you left off - Game Center leaderboards ranking how far you have come: highest level reached, plus total stars - No ads interrupting your gameplay - Play offline anytime, anywhere LIVES Square Falls uses a lives system: you start with 5 lives, and a spent life refills on its own after 30 minutes. A life is spent when an attempt ends without winning - losing a level, or choosing to abandon one already in progress (confirmed first, so it is never accidental) - never just for starting a level. Run out and you will see a countdown to the next free life. There is no way to pay past it: Square Falls has no In-App Purchases at all, and no ads. Waiting always works. CHALLENGE YOURSELF - Complete each level's own tasks before running out of moves - not always just a score - Plan ahead to create powerful combo chains - Each world introduces new board shapes and obstacles - Earn perfect 3-star ratings on every level - Compare your progress with friends on Game Center leaderboards HOW TO PLAY 1. Swipe a square toward an adjacent square to swap them - or tap one, then tap a neighbour 2. Create matches of 3 or more same-coloured squares 3. Trigger combos for bonus multipliers 4. Complete the level's tasks, shown before your first move, to win 5. Unlock special candies with matches of 4 or more LANGUAGE Square Falls is currently available in German only. Whether you are a casual puzzle fan or a match-3 master, Square Falls offers the perfect blend of strategy, skill and satisfying puzzle action!

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Square Falls at none against Hexa Slice's shown. Hexa Slice's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 5 weeks) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.4). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
