Mini Riot is a fast, tactical territory RTS you can play anywhere. Command squads of units across an isometric battlefield, capture bases, and wipe out your rivals to become the king of the streets. TAKE THE TURF Every match is a fight for territory. Send your units to seize neutral squares, defend your home base, and push into enemy ground. Hold more turf and your ranks grow faster, starve your opponents and they fall. SIMPLE TO PLAY, DEEP TO MASTER Tap to select, tap to command. Group moves, flanking, and smart timing separate the winners from the wiped-out. Units level up as they fight, auto-defend when threatened, and gang up on the weak. PLAY YOUR WAY - Offline vs bots: jump into a quick match against AI anytime, no connection needed. - Online multiplayer: battle real players in fair, server-authoritative matches. - Private rooms: share a code and challenge your friends. MAKE IT YOURS Unlock and equip skins from the market to show your style on the battlefield. OPTIONAL IN-APP PURCHASES Mini Riot offers optional diamond packs for real money. Diamonds can be used in-game to unlock premium cosmetic base skins. Prices are shown before you confirm a purchase.

Margin is a pursuit puzzle you win with your head, not your thumbs. Every level is a small board. You move one square at a time. So do the hunters — and they always take the step that brings them closest to you. That is the whole rule, and it is also the whole trick: because you know exactly what they will do, you can decide where they end up. An arrow above each hunter shows the step it is about to take. Read the arrows, and a level stops being a chase and becomes a plan: pull the pack one way, slip through the gap they leave, walk out through the exit. • Three tiers: Easy, Medium and Hard. Each one puts more hunters on the board and less room between them. • Inventory and heroes: pick one of 16 heroes to play on the board; earns bonus points on every Medium and Hard win. Buy with gems or try one for a day by watching an ad. Your first hero is a gift. • Regions: besides Classic, play Town (sleepers), Winter Festival (ice) and Castle (key). Each has its own rule and lesson; points and leaderboard stay the same. • Daily Board: one board for everyone, every day, separately for Easy, Medium and Hard. Solve it to earn 20 points on Easy, 200 on Medium or 400 on Hard, and claim your spot in the daily ranking. • Friends and challenges: add friends by name or player number and challenge them in real time on the same boards. The first to reach the end wins; rematches, draws and your head-to-head record included. • 48 titles to earn, plus weekly and all-time leaderboards on Game Center. • Every level is generated and then solved by the game before you ever see it. If it is offered to you, it can be beaten. • Every board shows its minimum move count. Each extra move costs a point (up to 5), so the shortest escape earns the most. • A hint when you are stuck, and a fresh board whenever you want one. • No timers, no lives, no energy to wait for. Think as long as you like. • Plays in portrait, one thumb, anywhere. There is no margin for error. There is exactly one square of it.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Mini Riot at none against GOA's shown. GOA's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs weekly). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
