Welcome to Neighbor Zero! Every tile has a number. When the count of tiles touching it matches that number, it vanishes — and every tile around it just lost a neighbor which could cause more vanishing. One clever swap can set off a chain reaction that sweeps the entire board clean. That's Neighbor Zero: a calm, cascading logic puzzle played on a hexagonal board. Easy to learn in one move, endlessly satisfying to master. HOW IT WORKS Swap any two cells — even distant ones, even into empty space A tile clears when its occupied neighbors equal its target number Clears trigger more clears, wave after wave Empty the board to win SOLVE AT YOUR OWN PACE There's no timer, no lives, and no way to lose. Undo your last move, restart anytime, or reveal a hint when you're stuck. Every level is solvable — the only question is how few moves you need. 100+ HANDCRAFTED LEVELS Progress through themed collections that layer in new twists: anchored tiles that bloom but can't be moved, voids that reshape the board, and puzzles built around deep multi-wave cascades. Earn up to three stars per level by solving in fewer moves, so you can always come back to chase a perfect clear. More levels are added all the time. A NEW DAILY PUZZLE Everyone in the world gets the same puzzle each day. Solve it to build your streak, then share your result with friends. Daily puzzles are always ad-free.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Loomlatch at none against Neighbor Zero's 1. Loomlatch also leads on ads (none vs shown). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
