SplitLight
Read full descriptionHide full description
You are the only light. There is a corridor in the dark, and your beam is what shows the way. Sweep the light and you see what waits ahead and to the sides โ a wall, a gap, a column. Two thumbs. The left one moves you, the right one aims the light. The rest is down to you and your reflexes: dodge the walls, use the pickups. THREE WAYS TO PLAY CLASSIC โ endless, no upgrades, no mercy. Your record is yours alone. DAILY โ one world a day, the same one for everybody on earth. Same corridor, same obstacles, one leaderboard โ but the streak breaks the moment you skip a day. A new world at midnight UTC. ROGUE โ the run that keeps something. Metres become a bank, the bank buys a longer or a wider beam, and every upgrade costs more than the last. Your beam upgrades stay with you โ always. WHAT THE DARK DOES BACK Pickups change the beam mid-run: wider, narrower, longer, shorter โ and two that change the world instead, speeding it up or slowing it down. Glass columns let the light through and kill you anyway. The dimmed strip behind one is your only warning. Fog eats the reach of your beam metre by metre; inside it you see less than you did a second ago. And every few hundred metres the world turns inside out: black becomes white, white becomes black. TWO SCREENS, ONE DARK SplitLight ships for iPhone and Apple Watch. On the phone you play with two thumbs; on the watch the Digital Crown is your hand and the beam sweeps on its own. The watch version is not a companion widget โ it is the same game, rebuilt for a screen the size of a fingertip, and one of the few real arcade games on the platform. BUILT SMALL ON PURPOSE Two colours. No text on the field. No tutorial โ the first run is the tutorial. No ads. No subscription. No timers, no energy, no accounts, nothing to watch and nothing to wait for. The game does not collect your data โ there is no analytics SDK inside, and your progress lives on your device. Free the whole way through: classic, daily and rogue, all of it, from the first metre to the last. One optional purchase unlocks endless beam upgrades past the fifth level in rogue โ buy it only if you have already hit that ceiling and want more. That single purchase is the entire business model. Game Center leaderboards and achievements on both platforms. Turn off the lights. Turn on the flashlight.

One curve. One thumb on each side of the screen. Hold left to turn left, hold right to turn right. That is the whole control. Your curve never stops moving and never stops drawing. Neither does anyone else's. The arena fills up with the trails of everyone still alive, and the last curve moving wins the round. Every trail has gaps in it. They are the only way through โ and threading one at eighty units a second is the entire skill of this game. PLAY ONLINE Matched with players anywhere in the world, up to six curves in one arena. No account, no sign-up, nothing to type: tap once and you are steering in under two seconds. If the queue is quiet you start against bots, and arriving players take those seats mid-round. PLAY WITH FRIENDS One six-character code opens a private room, and sharing it is a link rather than a dictation. The same code opens a second door: anyone can watch the match instead of playing it, taking no seat and no place away from the six. PLAY OFFLINE Four difficulties of AI opponent, from one that crashes into its own trail to one that reads the space you were about to move into. Works on a plane, in a tunnel, anywhere. SUPERPOWERS, IF YOU WANT THEM Eight of them: run faster, run slower, jump forward, go invisible, stamp a wall across the arena, shoot holes in the trail ahead, wrap through the walls instead of dying, or reverse to where you started facing the other way. Drive over an orb, hold the charge, spend it when it counts. Off unless the room turns them on. A REASON TO COME BACK A hall of fame for longest survival and match wins, on a weekly win still winnable by someone who arrives in month three. One daily round on a seed everyone in the world gets on the same date. And the end of a round clip you can hand to somebody. BUILT TO BE FAIR Every match runs on the server, so what killed you killed you โ nob connection decides the outcome. Rounds are scored to the classic formula, and a tie at the top goes to sudden death. Every death gets named on the card: the wall, your own trail, or the player who cut you off. BUILT TO BE READABLE Six colours checked against three kinds of colour blindness, and ev also carries their own shape, because "whose line is that" is the whole question. NOTHING TO TYPE, ANYWHERE There is no text box in this game. Your name is drawn from a word list and you can re-roll it until you like it. You talk in six emotes and nothin Nobody can send you a message, because there is nothing to write one with. No ads. No purchases. No accounts. No chat.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Curve2gether at none against SplitLight's 1. Curve2gether also leads on update cadence (daily vs weekly) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 26.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
