Fill every cell. Follow the clues. Find the solution. Unlike is a logic puzzle played with solid and outlined cells. Each number counts its neighbors with the opposite style. Only shared edges count: above, below, left and right. Gold-dot cells are already fixed; every other cell needs a style. LEARN BY PLAYING Four short lessons teach the rule through interactive examples. Open the playing guide during a puzzle, or use a hint to find a clue, understand the deduction and optionally place a cell. KEEP EXPLORING - A 200-level difficulty progression, with more puzzles beyond it. - Daily puzzles and free play at five difficulties. - Undo, redo and Check, plus optional live clue feedback. - Themes, larger tiles, high contrast and reduced motion options. - Choose your preferred language in the app. PROGRESS THAT STAYS WITH YOU Your unfinished puzzle saves on this device, including undo history. Completed levels and stars sync with iCloud when available. No Unlike account or registration is needed. Puzzles can be played offline. Ads may appear after campaign levels from level 4, and after Daily and Free Play puzzles. An optional one-time purchase removes ads in every mode.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Hedgemaze at none against Unlike's shown. Hedgemaze also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and review sentiment (100% vs 80%). Unlike's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs fortnightly). On price, rating, ratings volume and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
