Daxtle
Read full descriptionHide full description
Simple to learn. Surprisingly deep to master. Daxtle is a beautifully minimalist puzzle game that will twist your brain in the best way. Slide colored blocks across clever, irregular grids to land each one on its matching target — sounds easy, right? Think again. Here's the twist: every block has a fixed direction — it can only ever move one way. A single swipe moves all blocks sharing that direction at once, and a moving block will push anything in its path. One wrong swipe can ruin it all. Think ahead and plan your chain reactions. Made a mistake? Double-tap to undo — anytime, as many times as you need. WHY YOU'LL LOVE IT - 85+ hand-crafted levels across 6 chapters — each one a unique, satisfying puzzle to solve - Challenge mode: race against a 90-second master timer — each solve adds bonus time. How far can you streak? Compete on the Game Center leaderboard! - Surprising mechanics introduced chapter by chapter: multi-color blocks, destroy blocks, and teleport portals keep things fresh - Gorgeous, calm design — no ads, no timers, no distractions - Every single level is free from the start — nothing locked behind a paywall - Undo anytime with a double-tap — experiment freely - Hints when you need a nudge - Light, Dark, and Auto theme — plays beautifully day or night - Satisfying haptic feedback and an original soundtrack that makes every solve feel great - Works offline — no internet required SUPPORT INDIE GAMES Every level, every mode — totally free. If you enjoy it, a one-time $1.99 supporter upgrade unlocks 5 hints every 8h and helps keep the game alive. No subscriptions, no ads — just an indie dev building puzzles with love.

No ads. No video after every puzzle. No account. Hints put you on the right track instead of giving away the digit. Over time that gets you onto levels you cannot handle today. HINTS IN THREE STEPS First step: which technique applies, and in which area. Second: the exact spot. Third: the digit, or for a pattern the notes it removes. You stop whenever you have enough. Ordinary hint buttons fill in a cell right away. 20 LESSONS From scanning to advanced patterns. 17 of them show their technique in examples on the board. YOU SEE WHAT STICKS After every move the app knows which technique was due, and it remembers whether you spotted it yourself or had it shown to you. That becomes a bar per technique that fills until the technique is solid. No percentages. PLAYING FOR FREE Easy and Medium unlimited, with all hints and notes. Plus the Daily Challenge every day, on every level up to Expert. Plus unlocks Hard and Expert permanently. DAILY CHALLENGE The same puzzle worldwide, one per day. Solving it counts toward your streak. NO GUESSING REQUIRED Not even on Expert. Most apps only check that a puzzle has exactly one solution. Whether a person can find it without trial and error is a different question. Sudoku Still also runs every board through a solver that knows only human techniques, and discards what it cannot finish. LEVELS BY TECHNIQUE A puzzle's level depends on the hardest technique it requires, not on how many digits are missing. Hard is therefore equally hard every day. NOTES THAT KEEP COUNT Candidate notes update themselves when you enter a digit, and a hint reads your current notes and carries on from there. Not a rebuild of paper and pencil, but what a screen can actually do. SMALL AND OFFLINE Smaller than a photo. Runs without a connection and without video, which goes easy on the battery. Collects no data at all. ALSO On the iPhone Duo, the board and the controls each take one half when it is open sideways or standing half open. Streak, level and best times live in your iCloud, on iPhone and iPad, with no account and no sign-in. Siri and Shortcuts answer your streak and best time without the app opening, and the lessons are in Spotlight. SUDOKU STILL PLUS Plus opens up "Hard" and "Expert" in free play: boards where the patterns from the tutorial are actually needed, as often as you like. Family Sharing makes one subscription count for everyone in your family. Without Plus, Easy and Medium and the Daily Challenge stay fully open. Sudoku Still Plus is an auto-renewable subscription (monthly or yearly). Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. It renews for the same period unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage and cancel it in your Apple Account settings after purchase.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Sudoku Still at none against Daxtle's 1. Sudoku Still also leads on update cadence (every 6 days vs every 2 weeks). Daxtle's advantage is iOS requirement (14.0 vs 26.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
