SlideOut
Read full descriptionHide full description
SlideOut is a calm, tap-only puzzle game. Tap an arrow to slide it off the board in the direction it points. When the path is blocked, you'll see exactly which arrow is in the way. Clear the board, one quiet move at a time. No timers. No score chasing. No flashing lights. Just hundreds of hand-tuned puzzles and the quiet click of progress.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: SlideOut at none against Shade Shape's 10. SlideOut also leads on update cadence (every 2 days vs fortnightly) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 26.5). Shade Shape's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
