TidyPath
Read full descriptionHide full description
Make a little room for calm. TidyPath is a gentle spatial puzzle about giving small things a place to belong. Move each object to its own quiet home, one square at a time, through thirty rooms that grow steadily harder. WHAT IS INSIDE • Thirty rooms across six chapters — a desk, a music room, a greenhouse, a workbench, a tea room, a star chart. Every room is furnished with its own objects. • A difficulty curve you can trust. Each room's par is the true shortest solution, worked out move by move, and every room is exactly one move harder than the one before. • Three stars mean you found the shortest path unaided. Hints are there whenever you want them, and asking costs only the third star. • Hints come in two steps: the first points out which object moves next, the second shows which way. Stop after the first if a nudge is all you need. • A Design Studio of eight short exercises for the eye — palette, hierarchy, negative space, balance, slide layout, painting composition, putting an outfit together, and reading a photograph. • Undo is always free. Leave a puzzle half-finished and come back to exactly where you were. MADE TO BE COMFORTABLE • Text scales with your system size, throughout. • VoiceOver reads the board as a grid and can move a piece without a drag. • Reduce Motion is honoured. • Every text colour meets WCAG AA contrast, and objects are told apart by shape as well as by colour. QUIET BY DESIGN No timers. No streaks. No ads. No account. TidyPath works offline and your progress stays on your device.
Prism Expanse

Match energy. Restore the stars. The Expanse has gone dark. Derelict stations, silent reactors and rifts in space wait along a route that stretches across thousands of levels. Swap neighbouring energy pieces to line up three or more, and bring each region back to light. MATCH, CASCADE, OVERCHARGE Every swap can set off a chain reaction. Deep cascades fill the Overcharge meter, and a full meter unleashes Vector Shift or Reactor Pulse to turn a hard board around without spending a move. FORGE SPECIAL DEVICES Match four for a Pulse Capacitor that clears a whole row or column. Build a Nova Reactor, a Singularity Core or an Orbit Drone, then swap two devices together for an even bigger blast. A GALAXY OF CHALLENGES Charge reactors, seal rifts, clear the spreading void, guide drifting debris to safety and blast beacons awake. New mechanics arrive as you travel, from caged devices to conveyor lanes, so the puzzles keep changing. EXPLORE AN ILLUSTRATED ROUTE Scroll a winding map through nebulae, ringed worlds, capital ships and waterfall cities. Earn up to three stars on every route and track your progress region by region. PLAY YOUR WAY • Thousands of levels, with difficulty that rises and eases in rhythm • Boosters and tools to help when you choose to use them • Every level can be completed without paying • Reduced motion setting, sound and music controls • Plays offline Prism Shards can be earned in play or bought as optional in-app purchases. The game shows optional rewarded ads, which you only ever see if you choose to watch one.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: TidyPath at none against Prism Expanse's 4. TidyPath also leads on ads (none vs shown). Prism Expanse's advantage is iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.0). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
