Mad-scientist farming meets chaotic projectile physics. In Crop Shot, you defend your farm from waves of invading slimes armed with a slingshot, a seed spreader, and a heavy-duty "pumpkin-pult". Drag to aim, pull to charge, release to fire. Every shot is physics-driven: crops bounce, ricochet, and chain-react across the map. Between rounds, retreat to your greenhouse and fuse base crops into volatile hybrids. Pepper × Tomato? Pumpkin × Grapes? Give 'em a try! Discover 13 wacky hybrids, each with their own unique effects. Pick your favorites, load up your preferred weapon, and start blasting slimes! WHAT'S INSIDE • 28 hand-built levels spanning 3 farms • 3 weapon platforms with tailored upgrade branches • 6 base crops, 13 hybrids, and a recipe-book full of secrets • Battle 3 slime tribes intent on invading your farms! • Portrait orientation, designed mobile-first MONETIZATION (THE HONEST PITCH) • All 28 levels are earned by playing -- farms unlock with stars, never with money. • Two optional weapon platforms, $1.99 each -- or both together in the pack below. The starting slingshot clears the game either way. • Optional $4.99 Supporter Pack -- both weapons, no ad offers, daily gifts, and gold-leaf UI. • Optional rewarded video -- opt-in when you need a quick revive or bonus ooze. • No coin packs. No battle pass. No energy timers. If you like the tactile feel of Angry Birds 2, the lane discipline of Plants vs. Zombies, or the level-by-level rhythm of Kingdom Rush -- Crop Shot was built for you. Made by one developer, with art by two freelance artists. Made to be finished.
Threadline
Read full descriptionHide full description
Threadline is a game about one thing: keeping a steady hand. A sewing needle travels across an endless strip of fabric. Hold your finger anywhere on the screen and it dives. Let go and it rises. That is the whole control scheme, and you will understand it in about five seconds. The skill is in the timing. Stitch points drift past above and below the centre of the cloth, and you have to thread the needle through each one. Clip the edge and you get a stitch. Pass through dead centre and you get a Perfect — worth more score, more Thread Coins, and a noticeably crisper little tick under your thumb. Miss, and your combo takes the hit. Miss three times in quick succession and the thread snaps. HOW IT PLAYS • One touch. Hold to dive, release to rise. • Perfect stitches build a rising melody as your combo grows. • The fabric speeds up and the patterns tighten the longer you last. • Waves, zigzags, long sweeps and quick flurries — and every single pattern is generated to be physically possible. If you are precise enough, you can hit it. • Misses expire after a few seconds, so one bad patch never ruins a good run. • Restarting is instant. No loading, no waiting, straight back in. THREAD COINS AND SKINS Play well and you earn Thread Coins. Spend them in the shop on six hand-tuned cosmetic themes — warm Classic Cotton, deep Midnight Silk, Golden Thread, electric Neon Stitch, soft Sakura Fabric, and Cosmic Weave threaded with starlight. Every skin changes the needle, thread, fabric, stitch points and background. None of them changes the game. No pay-to-win, because there is nothing to pay. BUILT TO BE LEFT ALONE • No ads. • No in-app purchases. Thread Coins are earned by playing, and that is the only way to get them. • No account, no sign-in, no internet connection required. • No tracking and no data collection of any kind. Your high score never leaves your phone. Just a needle, a line of thread, and one finger.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Threadline at none against Crop Shot's 1. Threadline also leads on ads (none vs shown). Crop Shot's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price there is nothing between them.
