Collapsi
Read full descriptionHide full description
Collapsi is an abstract strategy maze game for two (or more?) players. As players move around the grid, the card they move from collapses, causing the grid to slowly close in on itself. Use portals and cave-ins to your advantage. Trap your opponent and be the last player able to make a legal move to win the game. Collapsi was designed and created by Mark Ball.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Collapsi at none against Five Lines's shown. Five Lines's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 7 months) and iOS requirement (17.0 vs 26.0). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
