Latch Blocks
Read full descriptionHide full description
Latch Blocks is a clean, focused sliding-block puzzle built around one simple goal: free the glowing core and guide it to the marked exit. Move the surrounding blocks across the grid, open a path, and solve each layout in as few moves as you can. The rules are easy to understand, while later boards ask for more careful planning and a sharper eye for space. Work through 47 handcrafted levels across five difficulty tiers, replay solved boards to improve your result, or return for a new Daily Puzzle. Hints and Undo are available when you need a little help, and an optional optimum-move display lets you compare your solution with the most efficient route. Dark stone textures and warm orange highlights give every puzzle a distinctive volcanic look without getting in the way of the board

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