102 games in one app — puzzles, board classics, cards, arcade, word games, quizzes, party pickers and everyday tools. All offline. All free. No ads, no sign-up, and nothing to log into. Download once and play anywhere, on a flight, on the subway, or on the sofa with the Wi-Fi off. 【Offline Freedom】 Every one of the 102 games runs with no internet, no account and no data plan. There are no loading screens between you and a game, and nothing you do is interrupted by an ad. Your focus stays on the puzzle in front of you. 【Puzzle & Logic — 21 games】 Sharpen your mind with Sudoku, 2048, Nonogram, Minesweeper and Kakuro, or think in shapes with Ball Sort, Rush Hour, Shikaku, Fillomino and Bridges. Each has clean rules, honest difficulty and a satisfying click when it finally clicks. 【Board & Strategy — 20 games】 The classics you grew up with: Chess, Checkers, Ludo, Backgammon, Gomoku, Go, Mancala, Warships, Dots & Boxes and Snakes & Ladders. Chess ships a full engine with an adjustable strength slider, so it stays a fair fight whatever your level. 【Cards & Solitaire — 10 games】 A proper solitaire cabinet — Solitaire, Spider, FreeCell, Pyramid, TriPeaks, Golf, Yukon and Baker's Dozen — plus Mahjong Solitaire and Memory Match. Deals are solver-checked, so every game you start can actually be won. 【Arcade & Reflex — 12 games】 Quick, twitchy fun: Snake, Tetra Blocks, Brick Breaker, Tower Stack, Whack-a-Mole and a set of reaction and memory tests. Easy to pick up for one round, hard to put down. 【Word & Vocabulary — 10 games】 Word Search, Word Trace, Hangman and Word Ladder for everyday play, with synonym and antonym quizzes to stretch your vocabulary. Great for a calm five minutes or a daily streak. 【Quiz & Learning — 8 games】 Turn downtime into knowledge: world flags and capitals, the periodic table, Roman numerals, number bases, and math and fraction drills. Fun enough for kids, sharp enough for adults. 【Party & Pickers — 15 games】 Settle any decision or start any game night. Bingo and Housie boards with tickets, Spin the Bottle, a two-player Reflex Duel, a team generator and a finger chooser, plus dice, coin flip, spin wheel and random number, card and name pickers. 【Everyday Tools — 6 games】 Genuinely useful extras: a stopwatch and timer, a Pomodoro focus timer, a chess clock, a BMI and calories calculator, a QR code generator and a savings "time to buy" calculator. 【Play Solo or Together】 Face tunable AI opponents with Easy, Medium and Hard for every computer player, pass one device back and forth for pass-and-play, or go online with real-time multiplayer in 16 board games. Joining a friend's room is always free. 【Make It Yours】 Light and dark modes plus a custom theme you color yourself — set your own primary and accent shades, then pick from 15 typefaces. Favorites give one-tap access, every game keeps detailed statistics, and sound and haptics toggle independently. The app speaks 12 languages. 【ONLINE, YOUR CHOICE】 Online features are optional. Multiplayer creates a pseudonymous session only when you create, join or spectate a room, and it does not create a leaderboard profile. That profile is created only when you choose to sync a score and confirm the public name you want displayed. 【Game Nest Pro】 All 102 games and tools stay free forever. Pro adds the Personal Game Studio for your own photos and sounds, private play insights, and online hosting with spectators and saved room presets. Available monthly, yearly, or as a one-time lifetime purchase. Terms of Use: https://gamenest.voythrix.com/terms-of-service Privacy Policy: https://gamenest.voythrix.com/privacy-policy

One sketch can change the whole mechanism. In Doodle, Please!, your drawings become part of a physics puzzle. Draw a bridge, hang a weight from a rope or find a support for a lever. Help a little doodle hero reach the green flag. DRAW, WATCH, TRY AGAIN Lines become bridges and ropes. Closed shapes become stones. Combine your sketches with the level's mechanisms, watch what happens and refine your idea. PUT PHYSICS TO WORK Use weight, balance and motion. Send carts down slopes, load counterweights, compress springs and guide falling stones. One mechanism helps set the next in motion: finding the right order is part of the puzzle. SIX ISLANDS, 90 LEVELS Start with simple bridges in Doodle Academy. Journey through a river canyon, above the clouds, into crystal grottos, through a paper grove and out to the dunes. Familiar parts form more demanding combinations as you progress. A WORLD ON NOTEBOOK PAPER Pencil hatching, paper waves, mountains and trees give each island its own character. The handmade scenery leaves room for the most important part: your idea. PLAY THE FIRST SIX FOR FREE The first 6 levels are free. One full-game purchase provides access to the remaining 84 levels. Levels and islands open in order as you progress. PLAY IN YOUR LANGUAGE Choose English, Russian, German, French, Spanish, Italian or Simplified Chinese in Settings. Sketch an idea. See where it takes you.

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. Game Nest sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and Doodle, Please! sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.9 for Game Nest against 5.0 for Doodle, Please!. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Game Nest has 502 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
