Pillchain is the kind of game you open “for a minute” and suddenly you’re still playing because everything feels so good. A bucket of glossy, candy-bright balls bounces and settles with satisfying physics, and with one touch you lock onto a color—the bucket lights up to match it, the world seems to lean in, and you start drawing a glowing chain through every ball you can reach. Keep connecting the same color to build an unstoppable link, watch your score explode, and feel the rush as a continuous tone climbs in pitch with every perfect addition. It’s smooth, punchy, and ridiculously rewarding when a huge chain snaps into a clean, sparkling clear. But it doesn’t stay easy. New balls rain down, the bucket gets tighter, and the game evolves as you survive: balls gradually shrink (down to a minimum you can still comfortably tap), then the challenge ramps by adding more colors and pressure. Every run becomes a battle of control—clear space, chase bigger chains, and don’t let the bucket overflow. When you finally get pushed over the edge, you’ll get a full breakdown of your run: your score, how long you lasted, your best chain, and which colors you crushed the most. Want to set the mood? Choose your music vibe (EDM, ambient, chill and more), fade smoothly between tracks, and fine-tune SFX and music volume exactly how you like. Play with ads at the bottom during gameplay, or grab the one-time “Remove Ads” in-app purchase and keep the bucket blissfully clean.

Gravity Dot is a space physics puzzle game where you pilot a tiny dot-ship through procedurally generated solar systems using only planetary gravity and a limited fuel thruster. No waypoints. No autopilot. Just you, inertia, and gravity. ARCADE MODE Progress through increasingly complex solar systems. Use swing-by maneuvers to navigate around planets, avoid black holes, and reach the target star. Drain its energy to clear the mission, then spend earned energy on upgrades at the Hangar. 3 lives per run — one wrong orbit and it's game over. ENDLESS MODE Explore an infinite universe with no fuel limits. Absorb energy from any planet for score and drift as far as you can. Unlocked after clearing Mission 5. HOW TO PLAY - Drag anywhere to aim your thruster - Hold to accelerate — fuel is limited, use it wisely - Release to coast on inertia - Use planetary gravity to slingshot, brake, and change direction - Pinch to zoom in and out FEATURES - Real swing-by physics powered by a custom Velocity Verlet engine - 300+ real celestial bodies from astronomical catalogs - 17 procedural planet shaders — gas giants, ice worlds, lava planets, black holes, and more - 4 distinct map layouts — solar system, corridor, cluster, and dual core - 6-category upgrade system with 10 levels each - Rogue planets and binary moons at higher levels - Real-time orbit prediction line - Planet scan HUD identifying nearby celestial bodies - Full planet catalog tracking every encounter - All sound effects and ambient music synthesized at runtime — zero audio files - Retro pixel art visuals - Game Center leaderboards No ads. No in-app purchases. Just pure space physics.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Gravity 80s at none against pillchain's 1. Gravity 80s also leads on iOS requirement (17.0 vs 26.1). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
