ZeroRoad

Turn turtles into stepping stones and get the bunny to the carrots! ZeroRoad is a number puzzle set in a peaceful pond. The number on each turtle's shell is how far it can swim. Every square it moves lowers the number by 1, and at exactly 0 it tucks into its shell and becomes a stepping stone. Link the bunny's island to the carrot island and the stage is clear! 【How to Play】 - Drag a turtle to swim. Each square lowers its number by 1 - Let go at 0 and it tucks in to become a stepping stone - Lily pads are ready-made stones. Turtles can dive right under them - Tap a placed turtle to send it back home - Connect the bunny to the carrots to clear the stage 【Key Rules】 - Rocks and islands can't be entered - Turtles can pass over lily pads and other turtles. That square still costs 1 - A turtle can't reach farther than its number. Which turtle, in what order, to where? That's the puzzle 【2,000 Stages】 A short animated guide shows the rules, and the first 7 stages are a hands-on tutorial. Ponds grow as you progress, with lily pads and rocks shaping the way. Difficulty rises and falls in waves, so a tough stage is followed by a breather. - No lives, no timers, no stamina - Progress is saved, so you pick up where you left off 【Stuck? Use a Hint】 Pick any turtle and use a hint on it: it glows gold, swims to its right spot, and locks in place. You start with 5 hints; watch an ad to get more. 【Features】 - Simple drag and tap controls in portrait mode - A cozy low-poly 3D pond with an adorable bunny and turtles - Separate volume sliders for music and sound effects - Reset a stage anytime 【Perfect For】 - Fans of number puzzles, logic puzzles and brain teasers - Players who love thinking games like Sudoku or Sokoban - Anyone who wants a relaxing brain workout with cute animals - Commutes, queues and short breaks Count the turtles down to zero and build the road. 2,000 stages: can you get the bunny home?

About

Gosai

Features
Read full description

Gosai is a solo tile-laying puzzle inspired by Kutani ware — Japanese porcelain famous for its five overglaze colors. Pick a pile and take its three tiles. Place each one on a cell whose dots match its color. When the piles run out, the kiln opens, and your board is scored by three cards: fill the rim, build the diagonal, gather a flock of one color. Only the final board counts. NO LUCK Every pile — and the order in which they vanish — is visible from your very first move. There is nothing to draw and nothing to hope for. If you fall short, there was a better line, and you can find it. Stars are awarded at 55%, 75% and 92% of the best score possible on that exact board. Match the best score, and the firing is perfect. EIGHT CHAPTERS 200 handcrafted stages, from plain porcelain to gold brocade. New scoring cards appear as you go — 28 in all — and each one changes how you read the board. Every chapter also holds fifteen extra stages that build from gentle to brutal. TODAY'S PIECE One shared puzzle a day. The whole world plays the same board: one attempt for the Game Center leaderboard, then practice as often as you like. A QUIET SHOP Stars are earned, never sold. They buy looks alone — watercolor glazes, board frames, patterns and vessels. Chapters 1–2 and the daily puzzle are free forever; a single one-time purchase unlocks everything else. No ads. No subscriptions.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: ZeroRoad at none against Gosai's 1. ZeroRoad also leads on iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). Gosai's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 days vs fortnightly). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
