Bar Sort
Read full descriptionHide full description
Bar Sort is an addictive color sorting puzzle game that is as relaxing as it is challenging. If you love games that test your logic but don't stress you out, this is the perfect game for you. The goal is simple: sort the colored bars into the tubes until each tube holds only one color and all bars of the same color are in the same tube. It sounds easy, but you'll need to plan your moves carefully to solve increasingly complex patterns.
Arrow Loop
Read full descriptionHide full description
Sharpen your logic in quiet focus. One loop. A handful of black cells. That's the whole rule— yet the deeper you look, the clearer your mind becomes. Guided by arrow-and-number clues, link every empty cell into a single closed loop, and shade exactly as many black cells as each arrow points to. That's Arrow Loop. No server, no account—everything stays on your device. WHAT YOU GET - A loop-and-shade logic puzzle: draw the path, shade the cells—two tactile modes - Always one solution: a solver verifies uniqueness as each board is built - Four difficulty tiers: from a gentle 6×6 to a fierce 12×12 - Today's puzzle: seeded by the date, the same board for everyone, worldwide - Two input modes: drag to draw the loop, tap to shade—simple and direct - Gentle assists: toggle mistake-highlighting, or take a quiet hint - Records & streaks: solves, average time, and daily streaks, shown calmly - Fully offline: play anywhere, no signal needed - English & Japanese, in a calm, paper-and-ink look MADE FOR YOU IF - You want to turn a few spare minutes into quiet, focused thinking - You love Slitherlink, Nurikabe, or nonograms - You're tired of ad-heavy, account-required puzzle apps - You care about the satisfying click of a single, certain answer - You want a small pre-sleep ritual with no notifications chasing you

Verdict
The clearest difference is device support: Bar Sort at 3 against Arrow Loop's 1. Bar Sort also leads on iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
