Cyclex
Read full descriptionHide full description
A brand-new sliding puzzle set on a 91-tile circular hex board. Slide tiles along three axes and match four or more same-colored tiles to clear them. As tiles clear, new ones drop in to refill the board ā a three-minute score-attack game where the only question is how high you can climb. ā Simple to play, deep to master One swipe moves an entire line. With horizontal, right-diagonal, and left-diagonal axes ā 33 lines in all ā you can set up chains from any angle. ā Special tiles turn the tide Bomb Tile: appears after clearing 5 tiles. Tap it, or trigger it in a chain reaction, to blast the 6 tiles around it. Color Bomb: appears after clearing 6 or more tiles. Clears every tile of one color on the board in a single stroke. ā Chain for exponential points Each consecutive clear raises your multiplier. Pull off a big chain and watch your score explode. ā Three minutes, all or nothing You have 3 minutes. Chains raise your score multiplier, but they never pause or extend the clock. At 0:00 the game ends. Stay sharp, trust your instincts.
Gloopfall
Read full descriptionHide full description
The maze-chase where you drop the walls. Gloopfall is a maze chase with falling blocks. You steer Gloop, a hungry one-eyed slime, through a maze full of pellets. Spiky Mites hunt you the whole time. Blocks keep falling into the maze, and you decide where each one lands. When a block lands, it becomes a wall. Use it to cut off a chaser, open an escape route, or seal a Mite into a pocket for good. TWO GAMES, ONE BOARD ⢠Steer Gloop with the d-pad and eat pellets. ⢠Move, rotate and drop the falling block with the buttons. ⢠Every block you place changes the chase. OUTSMART THE MITES ⢠Pip heads straight for you. Dash cuts you off from the front. Mo wanders, then turns on you. Grit hunts where your block is about to land. ⢠Wall a Mite into a sealed pocket to trap it. ⢠Grab a power pellet to turn the tables. Gobble dizzy Mites and ooze right through blocks. ⢠Fill a row to clear it and make room. ONE MORE LEVEL ⢠The level ladder never ends. Every level is built from its number, so it plays the same for everyone. ⢠Levels are short, 1 to 3 minutes. Each one is a little harder than the last. ⢠New Mites, twists and block worlds show up as you climb: Arcade, Handheld, Neon and Sunset. A NEW MAZE EVERY DAY ⢠The Daily Maze gives everyone the same board and the same blocks. ⢠Your first run of the day is scored. Keep your streak going and climb the Game Center leaderboard. SKILL IS THE ONLY POWER-UP ⢠Coins buy skins, streak freezes and the occasional continue. They never make a level easier. ⢠Unlock 9 Gloop skins and earn 16 achievements. ⢠Game Center leaderboards for the highest level and the Daily Maze. MADE FOR ONE THUMB ⢠Portrait, one screen, with chunky pixel art you can read at a glance. ⢠Two control schemes: Two-thumb (d-pad and buttons) or Swipe, plus a left-handed layout. ⢠Plays offline. No account needed. Gloopfall is free to play. Most ads are your choice, for a second chance or bonus coins. A short ad can play between lost runs, and Remove Ads turns that off. Optional in-app purchases add coins, which only buy looks, streak freezes and continues.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Cyclex at none against Gloopfall's 4. Cyclex also leads on ads (none vs shown). Gloopfall's advantage is iOS requirement (16.0 vs 26.0). On price, update cadence and device support there is nothing between them.
