Step up to the bar and test your skills in Root Beer Float, a tribute to the classic mechanical arcade games of the 80s! Your mission is simple but challenging: maneuver the ball up the wall by independently controlling the height of the left and right sides of the lift bar. Balance is key as you navigate a treacherous vertical course filled with traps and hazards. One slip, and your glass is broken! Do you have the steady hands to reach Goal 10? Pour yourself a cold one and start balancing!

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Root Beer Float at none against Chronosmith TimeQuarry's 10. Root Beer Float also leads on ads (none vs shown). Chronosmith TimeQuarry's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 4 months) and device support (3 vs 1). On price there is nothing between them.
