Runway Rush
Read full descriptionHide full description
Flight Control for a New Generation Runway Rush is a calm but tense airport puzzle game designed to be played with one finger. Drag a flight path from each plane to its color-matched runway, launch departing aircraft toward their exit gates, and keep the skies clear. It is simple to learn and hard to put down. How It Plays ⢠Drag to create a flight path. That is the entire control system, so no lengthy tutorial is needed. ⢠Land planes on their matching runways and launch departing aircraft to earn points. As you progress, additional runways become available. ⢠Avoid uncontrollable UFOs and military jets. Their paths are clearly signaled, so crashes never feel unfair. ⢠Unlock a runway to bank a Ghost Save, which automatically rescues you from one crash. ⢠Catch a Rainbow Wildcard plane, which can land on any runway. Modes and Features ⢠Daily Challenge: Everyone plays the same board each day and competes on the Game Center leaderboard. ⢠Zen Mode: Enjoy a relaxing, endless, no-fail version of the game. ⢠Game Center leaderboards and achievements. ⢠Colorblind Mode with distinct shapes for each color. ⢠Shareable score cards. ⢠No banner ads during gameplay, ever. Simple to learn. One more round. Every time.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Gridlock at none against Runway Rush's shown. Runway Rush's advantage is device support (3 vs 1). On price, in-app purchases and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
