Collect every Pixel. Master ice, fire and traps. Reach the Plenum. Pixel: The Challenge is a 3D puzzle game in the spirit of the great tile-based logic classics — completely re-built and yours to master. On every level you gather all the Pixels, find the right keys, and cross water, ice, conveyor belts and monsters until the Plenum portal opens. The logic is grid-clear and deterministic, just like the classics — but the world is real 3D with smooth animation. Best of all: every one of the 80 levels is provably solvable. A solver works out each solution in advance and stores a replay. No level is down to luck. None is unfair. 80 BASE LEVELS INCLUDED · 50 OPTIONAL PREMIUM LEVELS The app purchase includes all 80 base levels across 8 worlds. For more challenges, the optional “Premium Pack – The Plenum” unlocks 50 additional levels with a one-time in-app purchase. Purchased premium levels remain available and purchases can be restored. No subscriptions, no currency, no energy timers, no ads. WHY YOU'LL LOVE IT • 80 hand-crafted levels across 8 worlds — every one guaranteed solvable • Classic logic, real 3D — plan it, solve it, execute it cleanly • Two art styles — switch between Voxel (chunky and bright) and Low-Poly (soft and modern) at any time • Three cameras — third-person, first-person or top-down; see the puzzle your way • Fair for everyone — chase 3 stars as a pro, or switch on Casual mode with no time pressure • Stuck?

Turn the world. Watch everything fall into place. Gravity Grid is a puzzle game with one beautifully simple rule: you never touch the blocks. You rotate the entire board — and gravity does the rest. Every block tumbles, slides and stacks in the direction you chose. Land each colour in its matching exit and the level is solved. Easy to understand in three seconds. Surprisingly hard to master. WHY YOU'LL KEEP PLAYING • One rule, endless depth — a single rotation moves every piece at once, so every turn matters • 9,540 levels, hand-tuned in difficulty from your very first board to genuinely brutal • Never unwinnable — every level is verified solvable, and no wrong move can dead-end you. If you're stuck, it's a puzzle, not a bug • No timers on most levels — think as long as you like • Fully offline — every level is on your device. Play on a plane, on the subway, anywhere MECHANICS THAT KEEP IT FRESH New ideas arrive gradually, each one taught on the level it first appears: • One-way gates that only let blocks through from one direction • Portals that teleport blocks mid-fall • Glue tiles that anchor a sliding block in place • Colour-swap tiles that change a block as it passes • Locked exits that open only once you've cleared a colour • Linked blocks that move as one • Jokers that fit any exit • Move limits, when the puzzle needs the pressure POWER-UPS FOR WHEN YOU'RE STUCK • Hint — shows you the next right move • Hammer — send any block straight to its exit • Undo — take back a rotation • Rocket — plays the best move for you • Freeze — buys you extra moves or extra time RELAX, OR COMPETE WITH YOURSELF Earn up to three stars per level. Chase a perfect run. Take on the Daily Challenge for bonus rewards. Or just play a few boards before bed — it's that kind of game. PLAY IN YOUR LANGUAGE Fully localized in English, Arabic, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Russian and Turkish, with full right-to-left support. No account. No sign-up. No ads mid-puzzle. Just open it and play. Download Gravity Grid: Color Drop and start turning the world.

Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Gravity Grid at Free against Pixel's $1.99. Gravity Grid also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 1). Pixel's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
