SwayTap — Tap the beat. Feel the pulse! A circle that pulses to the beat. An aura surrounding it: keep an eye on it! HOW TO PLAY RED Aura? The circle expands... tap outside the aura to contract it. BLUE Aura? The circle contracts... tap inside the circle to make it grow. If the circle touches the edges or disappears... game over. The higher you level, the more challenging it becomes: irregular rhythms, fast bursts, up to four simultaneous circles moving across the screen. Concentration, multi-touch gestures, and a strong nerve are required. KEY FEATURES 15 levels with progressive difficulty — from dead calm to total chaos Multi-touch system: at advanced levels, you'll use all four fingers Power-ups to turn the game around: hourglass to slow down time, replay to restart from that point, and many more Color palettes that evolve with each level — an ever-changing visual experience Gradient background that moves with the rhythm of the game Combo system: chain perfect taps to multiply your points up to 5x Local leaderboard to beat your high scores Interactive tutorial that guides you step by step Precise haptic feedback: your phone vibrates to the rhythm of your taps Share your progress screen to challenge your friends FINAL GOAL Reach 15,000 points by completing all 15 levels to unlock the SwayTap king...

SwayTap is completely free. No pay-to-win, no energy to recharge, no subscriptions. Just you, the rhythm, and the pulsating circle. Download SwayTap. Listen to the beat. Feel the rhythm.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: SwayTap at none against PhotonPath's 3. SwayTap also leads on iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.0). PhotonPath's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
