The storm is rising and the harbor lights have failed. You are the keeper of the last lighthouse on a drowned coast — and your beam is the only thing standing between the lost ships and the rocks. Drag to sweep your warm amber beam across the sea. Light a ship and it finds the courage to sail home to the glowing harbor. But the same light is a weapon: it blinds the pirate raiders charging your harbor and drives them back into the dark. Hold the beam too long on one ship and it dazzles into panic — so sweep, don't stare. Ships arrive from every direction as the storm escalates. One beam. One thumb. Endless triage. BEACON: STORM HARBOR is a moody, modern nautical arcade game built around a single, fresh idea — a lighthouse beam that both saves and repels — and a pure "one more run" high-score chase. — FEATURES — • One-thumb triage you learn in seconds and never master • A dual-purpose beam: guide friendly ships home, blind the raiders • Over-light a ship and it dazzles into panic — sweep, don't stare • Escalating storms with telegraphed surges and power-up crates • A Harbor Office of permanent upgrades, plus unlockable lighthouses and beam colors • Voyages: a daily challenge run, missions to chase, and a login streak • Game Center leaderboard — climb the keepers' ranks • Original art, sound, and a calming storm soundtrack • Free to play. One simple "Remove Ads" purchase. Rewarded videos are always optional. — DESIGNED COLORBLIND-FIRST — Beacon was built by a colorblind developer, so nothing important is ever shown by color alone. Friendly ships and raiders are told apart by shape, motion, and icon; danger by silhouette and light; your harbor and shields by form and position. A Colorblind Mode and full Reduce Motion support are built in from the first launch. Light the way. Save the fleet. Outlast the storm. A nautical arcade by Bleach Games.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Beacon at 5.0 against UnderGuild's 4.5. UnderGuild's advantage is ratings volume (79 vs 2) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. UnderGuild sells 19 one-off in-app purchases and Beacon sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Beacon holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: UnderGuild has 79 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.
