Boxpush
Read full descriptionHide full description
Push every box onto its target. That is the whole game โ and it is harder than it sounds. 500 hand-verified levels Every level in Boxpush was built by a solver working backwards from the finished position, which means two things no other puzzle pack can promise: every level definitely has a solution, and the game knows the shortest one. The "best" counter next to your score is the real optimum, not a guess. Difficulty that actually ramps Levels are not sorted by how long they take. They are sorted by how many ways there are to ruin them โ the legal moves that quietly leave a level unsolvable. Five bands, each measurably harder than the last, each introducing exactly one new idea. Two mechanics, introduced one at a time - One-way tiles: a box standing on an arrow can only be pushed that way. - Typed boxes: a marked box only counts on the target bearing the same mark. Built to be read Every piece on the board is distinguished by shape as well as colour. The whole game is playable in a black-and-white screenshot. Text scales with your system setting. Nothing is hidden behind a gesture. No timers. No lives. No streak to lose. Unlimited undo, because changing your mind is the mechanic. Works completely offline. Your progress stays on your phone. Free with ads. One optional purchase removes them โ it unlocks nothing, because all 500 levels are free from the start.
Nonogram Picross
Read full descriptionHide full description
Ten thousand nonograms, and not one of them needs a guess. Griddly is a nonogram โ a logic puzzle on a grid. The numbers beside each row and column tell you how many squares to fill and in what runs; the rest is deduction. No timers pushing you, no lives to run out of, no connection required. WHAT IS IN IT โข 10,000 machine-verified puzzles โ 3,000 at 10ร10, 4,000 at 15ร15, 3,000 at 20ร20 โข Four difficulty levels, from a few quiet minutes to a proper sit-down โข A new daily puzzle, a streak to keep, and a calendar to fill โข Works with no connection, on a plane, underground, anywhere EVERY PUZZLE HAS ONE SOLUTION Every board was solved twice by two independent programs before it shipped โ once to prove it has exactly one answer, once to prove that answer can be reached by reasoning alone. You will never be asked to guess and hope. MADE TO BE PUT DOWN Your board is saved where you left it. Undo as far back as you like. Ask for a hint when a line will not come, or check your work when something feels wrong โ both are there when you want them and quiet when you do not.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Nonogram Picross at none against Boxpush's 1. Boxpush's advantage is iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
