Read full descriptionHide full description
Tilt your device, roll the iron ball and escape the haunted maze! Ferroll is a physics maze game you steer with your phone's motion sensor. Guide the ball through winding corridors, dodge the ghosts, avoid the traps, grab every gem to unlock the exit door, and get out before the clock runs out. TILT TO PLAY No buttons, no joystick. Tilt your iPhone or iPad and the iron ball rolls with real physics. A gentle tilt gives you precision; a sharp one sends it flying. 42 LEVELS, 5 WORLDS Start in the stone dungeons and work your way to the final maze. Each world brings new walls, new ghosts, new gems and tougher traps. Mazes get bigger and corridors get busier the deeper you go. DODGE THE GHOSTS Ghosts patrol the corridors. Time your moves, find a gap and slip past them. One touch and you lose a life. GRAB EVERY GEM The exit stays locked until you collect every gem on the map. Plan your route and don't leave any behind. BEAT THE CLOCK Every level is timed. Escape quickly and without dying to earn three stars and set a new best time. Then replay to beat your own record. ENDLESS MODE How deep can you go? Descend floor after floor in a maze that never ends. Each gem adds 5 seconds to the clock and 50 points to your score. Submit your best run to the Game Center leaderboard and compete with players around the world. LIVES THAT REFILL Out of lives? Wait a little: you get 1 life back every 20 minutes, up to 3. You can also watch an optional video for an instant revive, or pick up extra lives in the Store.

Grab the oars and row your little boat down a lively river. Rowboats is a simple, satisfying arcade game you can pick up in seconds. Swipe down on the left side of the screen to pull the left oar and on the right side to pull the right oar. Pull both together to glide straight ahead, or alternate to weave between obstacles. DODGE THE RIVER Rocks, drifting logs and floating barrels stand between you and a high score. The river speeds up the further you go, so stay sharp. CATCH STARS Scoop up golden stars with your boat or your oars. Every star you catch is worth more than the last, up to 1,000 points, but let one drift past and its value drops. ONE MORE RUN Runs are quick and restarts are instant. Your best score is saved, so there is always a new record to chase. FEATURES • Simple swipe controls that feel great on any iPhone • A hand-crafted 3D river with clear water, lily pads and sparkling sunlight • An original rowing soundtrack and relaxing river sounds • Quick, replayable runs with a saved best score • No account, no ads, no in-app purchases and no data collection

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Rowboats at none against Ferroll's 3. Rowboats also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). Ferroll's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 3 months). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
