AquaCircuit
Read full descriptionHide full description
AquaCircuit is a calm pressure-routing puzzle game about building stable water circuits. Rotate pipe tiles, guide colored fluids to matching sinks, seal branch leaks, route through filters, cross over bridges, tune pressure gates, and combine flows through mixers. Each stage has an authored solution and target budgets for moves and time, with difficulty increasing across the full campaign. Features: - 500 playable stages across tutorials, glass routing, deep tanks, pressureworks, and advanced generated challenge packs. - Pipe mechanics including elbows, tees, caps, reservoirs, filters, pumps, bridges, pressure gates, and mixers. - Local-only progress and best-score tracking. - Optional timer, sound, haptics, and reduced-motion setting. - No third-party ads, in-app purchases, or account requirement. - Inspect pipe openings, pressure gates, timers, and portals without changing your route. - Read-only circuit overview for larger puzzles, then return to full-size editing controls. - Saved puzzle routes, clearer flow feedback, and a Firebase gameplay analytics control in Settings. Optional Hishi Games suggestions can introduce Nilo's Path on the main menu after three distinct non-tutorial stages are completed. Suggestions never interrupt a puzzle, appear at most once per app session and seven days, and can be dismissed for 30 days. The link opens the studio's Nilo page, with no user identifier in the URL.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: AquaCircuit at none against Tiny Gambit's 1. AquaCircuit also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (16.0 vs 18.0). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
