Flamingo Chess
Read full descriptionHide full description
Flamingo Chess is plain chess for you and your friends: in Messages, live in the app, or across the table on one phone. No login, no tracking, no engine. Just a game of chess between people. PLAY IN MESSAGES Start a game right in a conversation and take turns whenever it suits you. Your opponent's move plays out on the board when you open it. Games in Messages are serverless: your moves travel in the conversation between your iPhones and are never stored on our servers. PLAY LIVE IN THE APP Pick a color, start a game, and share its five-letter invite code. Your friend types in the code and takes the other seat. Moves appear the moment they are made, and every game you play in the app waits in your games list, titled with both players' names, like "blueberry764 vs orange489." PLAY HOT SEAT Two people, one phone. The board turns to face whoever moves next, you can take moves back, and the game stays on your phone until you come back to it. SHARE YOUR GAMES Share any online or hot seat game as a scoresheet: plain text laid out like the paper sheet at a tournament, with the date, both players, the result, and every move in numbered rows. Send it to your opponent or keep it in your notes. KEEP YOUR GAMES Finished games go to the archive, where you can replay them move by move. AND ALSO • Offer a draw or resign, just like over the board • Speak your move: hold the Speech button and say "Move pawn to D3" • Playable with VoiceOver: every square announces its name and its piece, and legal moves are called out • Two board themes, Neon and Standard • Choose your own display name in Settings Have fun everyone!
DragonFly Maze

DragonFly Maze is a fast-paced puzzle game where you guide a dragonfly through randomly generated mazes. Draw a path, swipe to slide, and race against the clock to reach the exit before time runs out. Every level brings a new maze. The grid grows larger, the timer gets tighter, and the path gets trickier. There's no final level — just you, the maze, and the clock. HOW TO PLAY • Drag through cells to draw a path for the dragonfly • Swipe in any direction to slide until hitting a wall • Reach the exit door before time runs out • Reset your path anytime and try a different route FEATURES • Infinite levels with increasing difficulty • Randomly generated mazes — no two are the same • Swipe controls for quick movement • Timer-based challenge that scales with complexity • Game Center leaderboard — compete globally by highest level reached • Clean, dark-themed visuals designed for focus Simple to learn. Hard to master. How many levels can you clear?

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Flamingo Chess at none against DragonFly Maze's 1. Flamingo Chess also leads on ads (none vs shown). DragonFly Maze's advantage is update cadence (daily vs every 5 days) and iOS requirement (16.6 vs 26.0). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
