Block'n'Roll
Read full descriptionHide full description
A drafting sheet, and blocks with grooves cut into them. Lay a route from the feeder to the catcher, then let the ball go and find out whether it works. Laying a route is not the same as finishing one: a climb costs speed and a drop returns some of it, but what you get back from coming down never pays for going up again. Height is spent, not borrowed. Corners cost speed too. Nothing is settled until the ball has rolled. WHAT IS IN IT Practice โ ten courses on small boards, where the rules are learned. Nothing is ranked. Open League โ twenty hand-built courses, free, ranked by the total number of pieces used across the whole set. Fewest wins. Finishing them opens the Pro League. Pro League โ twenty courses for people who have already finished twenty. Getting the ball home is assumed here; what is asked is how few pieces it took. Each course knows its own true minimum, so you can always see how far off you are. Drills โ pick a theme and a course is built on the spot. One is free each day; Pro removes the limit. Skill Trials โ Pro courses where the ball must pass through a fixed checkpoint before reaching the goal. A new course is made each time. Workshop โ place the start and the goal yourself and build whatever you like. Once it has actually rolled home, it can be given away with a share code. What arrives is the problem; the answer does not travel with it. After the other person has solved it themselves, they can look at how you did it. NO ACCOUNT, NO PERMISSIONS No sign-up, no camera, no location, and no advertising. To improve the app, we collect anonymous aggregate counts of fixed actions and the app version only โ never personal information, device identifiers, course content, or share codes. Generated courses rebuild from seven-character codes; your progress and hand-built courses stay on your device. No course content is uploaded to or stored on our servers. Block'n'Roll Pro is a one-time purchase โ not a subscription โ that opens Skill Trials and the Workshop, and removes the limit on drills. The Pro League becomes available after all 20 Open League courses are cleared.
Boneset
Read full descriptionHide full description
A full domino set is hidden in a grid of numbers. Break the board apart and put every tile back where it belongs. Any two neighbouring numbers could be a tile from the set โ and each tile appears exactly once. Work out where the tiles really lie, and the whole grid splits into dominoes. No guessing: every level has one solution, and pure deduction gets you there. HOW IT PLAYS โข Tap between two numbers to lay a tile, or swipe across the board to lay a whole chain in one stroke. โข The set matrix ticks off every tile you have found. Lay a duplicate and both turn red โ the board tells you at once. โข Wall off seams where no tile can go, like pencil marks on paper. โข Set a checkpoint before a bold move and jump back with one tap. WHAT'S INSIDE โข 100 levels, growing from a 2ร3 grid to the full double-six set on 7ร8. Every one is checked to have a single solution. โข Cut-out boards with holes that change the logic. โข Daily, weekly and monthly challenges: one board for everyone, against the clock. โข A level generator: pick a size and a difficulty and get a fresh board โ or open a friend's by code. โข Every board is timed, and the first solve is the one that counts. See how yours compares with everyone who solved it. โข Ten languages. Plays offline. Why Boneset? Bones is what domino players call the tiles, and the set is all of them. Finding every last one is the whole game.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Boneset at none against Block'n'Roll's 1. Boneset also leads on iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
