About

Blindwave

Read full description

The dark is total. You guide a blind creature that sees only through echolocation: every pulse lights the walls for a heartbeat, then fades. All you keep is memory. Pulses are scarce. Blindwave is not a game of reflexes โ€” it is a game of information. Spend a pulse and you see. Move blind and you save one. That single choice is the whole game. TWO WAYS TO SEE โ—‡ Short pulse โ€” quiet, narrow, cheap โ—‡ Wide pulse โ€” reveals everything, costs double, and is heard Something down there is listening. WHAT YOU WILL FIND โ—‡ 50 hand-built levels across 8 worlds โ—‡ Materials that rewrite the rules: walls that swallow the echo, amber that amplifies it, quicksilver that bends it around corners, glass you can see through but never cross โ—‡ Gates with their own rhythm, embers that must be lit, shadows that wake only when you shout โ—‡ A fog that hunts you, a glimmer that leads you, a shoal to herd home โ€” and memories hidden off the path that tell the creature's story โ—‡ Every world opens and closes with its own scene, where its material answers your echo โ—‡ A daily challenge โ€” the same level for everyone, every day. Build a streak, share your result โ—‡ Zen Wave: no enemies, nothing to count โ—‡ Endless Echo: descend until the echo gives out MADE FOR ONE HAND, IN THE DARK โ—‡ Portrait, one thumb, no buttons โ€” tap, hold, swipe โ—‡ Text follows the size you choose on your iPhone โ—‡ Spatial audio and haptics carry the information: fully playable with the screen dimmed โ—‡ Works entirely offline. No account, no network, nothing to sign up for HONEST BY DESIGN Free to try: the first world and the daily challenge, forever. One payment unlocks everything else. โ—‡ No ads. No subscriptions. No energy timers. No loot boxes.

About

Pixy Bus Flow

Features
Read full description

A bus jam above. A colorful pixel puzzle below. Find a way through the traffic and put the right colors in motion! In Pixy Bus Flow, buses are packed together on a crowded board. Each one has a direction and a color. Clear a path, send buses out of the jam, and use them to collect matching pixels from the picture above. The number on each bus shows how many pixels it can collect. Every move affects both parts of the puzzle. You need to free the buses below while choosing colors that can make progress above. Some buses wait at the stops, so think ahead and leave room for the ones you need next. WATCH THE PIXELS CHANGE Some levels hide a new picture beneath the colored blocks. Clear the pixels to reveal it. In others, the picture is already in view, and your goal is to take it apart color by color. Either way, each bus brings you closer to a clear board. If you enjoy bus parking puzzles, traffic jams, color matching, and pixel art, Pixy Bus Flow brings them together in one satisfying challenge. Study the board, choose your order, and keep the buses moving!

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Pixy Bus Flow at none against Blindwave's 1. Pixy Bus Flow also leads on device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). Blindwave's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price there is nothing between them.
