Pocket Delver
Read full descriptionHide full description
Pocket Delver is a tight, hand-crafted puzzle game about digging, falling rocks, sparkling gems, and just barely making it out alive. Burrow through dirt, knock loose boulders onto enemies, herd them away from your only exit, and collect enough diamonds to unlock the way out โ all before the timer runs down. Every level is a self-contained puzzle box: small enough to grasp at a glance, big enough to chew on for ten minutes when the "obvious" path turns out to bury you alive. KEY FEATURES Pure single-screen puzzle design โ no procedurally generated filler, every level was placed by hand and solved by humans. Pixel-perfect retro visuals. Designed for iPhone and iPad. On-screen D-pad controls, plus full MFi and Bluetooth controller support. Built-in level rewind. Take a wrong step? Tap to restart and try again โ no rage required. Game Center leaderboards and achievements. No ads. No in-app purchases. Pay once, play forever โ even offline. WHY YOU'LL LIKE IT If you grew up sneaking levels of a certain 80s home-computer classic on a CRT, Pocket Delver was built for you. It's the kind of game you open on the train, solve two levels, and put away smiling. NO CATCH One purchase, the whole game. No subscriptions, no energy meters, no pop-ups, no nagging. Future level packs are free updates for everyone who bought the game. Happy delving.

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: HexiPop at every 2 weeks against Pocket Delver's every 2 months. Pocket Delver's advantage is device support (3 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
