The perfect move exists. It is shown. Serialogic prints the smallest number of moves that solves the level at the top of the screen, while you play. An exact solver found that number before the level shipped. You are no longer looking for a solution. You are looking for the solution. WHAT MAKES IT DIFFERENT In an ordinary sorting game every solution is worth the same, so tapping until it works out is enough. Here the minimum is known and announced, which turns each level into an optimisation problem. The board also shows, before you commit, how many tokens each destination would take — information the genre simply does not give you. This is golf, not fumbling. THE RULES, IN FOUR LINES Coloured tokens sit mixed across vertical threads. Move the token at the end of a thread onto an empty thread, or onto a token of the same colour. A run of identical adjacent tokens moves as one move, up to the space available. You win when every colour is gathered in full on a single thread. WHAT YOU GET 350 levels across 7 tiers, from three colours on five threads to eight colours on ten. Difficulty climbs inside each tier as much as from one tier to the next. The first three tiers — 150 of the 350 levels — are proven free of dead ends. Every reachable position was enumerated, not sampled. Beyond that a dead end is possible, and a safety net checks after each move that a win is still within reach, telling you the moment it is not. A single undo always brings you back. Undo is free, unlimited, and costs no star. Only the moves of your final solution count. There is no timer anywhere in the app: a clock beside a move count would push you to hurry on a dimension that measures nothing. Nine themes in light and dark, six typefaces, forty-four languages. Progress syncs through iCloud. Game Center achievements and leaderboards. WHAT IS NOT IN IT No advertising, and there never will be. No subscription. No account. No analytics, no tracking, no third-party SDK of any kind. No network request is ever made: all 350 levels ship inside the app and play in airplane mode, from the first level to the last. The first 150 levels are complete and cost nothing. They sit entirely inside the proven-safe range, so a player who has not paid cannot get stuck. The remaining 200 unlock with a single purchase, once. Nothing recurring. BUILT TO BE READ Six typefaces including OpenDyslexic and Andika, applied to the whole interface. VoiceOver on every thread, announcing each token's colour and fill. Dynamic Type. Reduced motion. Token fill — disc or ring — already tells half the colours apart without relying on colour at all, and a colour-blind mode replaces green with violet. iPhone and iPad on iOS 17 or later, Mac on macOS 14 or later. One purchase covers all three. Serialogic is the fourth in a family of Bauhaus logic games, after KubiLogic, LineaLogic and Tektologic.

Slide colorful bricks to matching gates, swap to match three, and clear your way through 2,000 puzzles. OutBrick brings a different kind of block puzzle to your day: thoughtful moves, playful surprises and a whole Journey of toy-brick villages, with no timer rushing you. Whether you enjoy sliding puzzles, color sorting or match-3 games, each board invites you to look, plan and try a fresh approach. Play a few levels on a break or settle in for a longer puzzle session. Every level plays offline. SLIDE, SWAP AND MATCH • Drag a brick toward open space and choose where it stops. Guide it through a gate of its own color to remove it from the board. • Swap neighboring single bricks to match three or more of one color. Unmatched swaps bounce back without spending a move. Shaped pieces slide, never swap. • Make bigger matches to create rockets, bombs and rainbow bricks. Combine their effects to open space and set up your next move. • Think around long, big, L and T-shaped bricks. A shaped piece moves as one and needs a gate wide enough to fit. A PUZZLE TO THINK THROUGH Work out which brick to move first, which gate to reach and how to free a crowded corner. Crates, moss, chests and other obstacles change the way a board opens up. Move limits give each puzzle a goal without a countdown. You can pause to consider a route, put the game down and come back at your own pace. Hidden bricks and covered rooms add discovery as your Journey continues. Sometimes the best next move creates room for a later one. Hints and optional boosters are there when you want a helping hand; they are tools to choose, not a requirement to buy your way through the game. 2,000 LEVELS, 167 VILLAGES Follow the Journey through villages built stud by stud from toy bricks. From Garden City to Clover Farm and beyond, each place gives your progress a home. Earn stars, return to earlier puzzles and keep exploring. Your completed levels and purchases stay with your saved progress when you update. MEET FIVE BRICK FRIENDS Pix, Luna, Brix, Nova and Max accompany your adventure with visual animations and text bubbles. They celebrate each clear without character voices. MORE REASONS TO RETURN • Three daily Missions give you goals alongside your Journey. • The Daily Brick reward adds a little celebration to your first clear of the day. • Explore the Brick Pass and its free reward track. • Take part in weekly events and seasonal celebrations. • Compare your progress through Game Center leaderboards and achievements. PLAY WITH VOICEOVER Explore bricks and the board through accessible descriptions and actions. VoiceOver helps communicate position, shape and the information available to the player; a hidden brick stays hidden rather than having its color revealed. Color symbols help distinguish pieces without relying on color alone. Adjust the experience with accessibility options and your device's display and motion settings. PLAY ACROSS YOUR APPLE DEVICES Play on iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple TV and Apple Vision Pro, with progress synced through iCloud. Apple Watch has its own sliding edition. Widgets, Live Activities, Siri, Shortcuts and iMessage stickers extend the experience. FREE TO START, CLEAR ABOUT CHOICE OutBrick is free to play, with optional in-app purchases for coins, boosters, packs and other extras. Lives and move limits are part of the game. Rewarded videos are optional and started by you: there are no banners or automatic interstitial ads between levels. An internet connection is needed for purchases, video ads and online services, but not to play the levels. Optional game analytics is off by default. You can choose whether to share it and change your choice in Settings. Declining does not restrict your gameplay, rewards or purchases. Questions or ideas? Tap Community in Settings to find player help and share your feedback. Find your next satisfying clear: one brick, one clever move and one village at a time.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Serialogic at none against OutBrick's shown. OutBrick's advantage is update cadence (daily vs every 2 weeks) and ratings volume (18 vs 2). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Serialogic sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and OutBrick sells 19 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 5.0 for Serialogic against 4.9 for OutBrick. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: OutBrick has 18 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.
Serialogic ships an update every 2 weeks, OutBrick daily. The most recent releases landed on October 29, 2026 and October 31, 2026 respectively.
