Pipewick
Read full descriptionHide full description
Drag your finger, build a pipeline, and watch the liquid rush through. Pipewick is a cozy little plumbing machine in your pocket. Pick up a pipe mouth, drag a path across the grid, and connect it to the outlet of the same color. Ordinary corners form automatically as you draw; special rotating joints that appear later are turned with a tap. When the last color clicks into place, the whole board floods at once. 1,000 VERIFIED LEVELS 100 chapters, 10 levels each. Every board is built solution-first. Every bundled board is checked by the game's solver. MECHANICS THAT KEEP GROWING Start with simple two-color boards, then meet tap-to-rotate joints, color valves that automatically open only for a matching pipe passing straight through, bridges where two straight pipes can cross, and one-way segments governed by the real source-to-target flow. Each one arrives with a single card, not a wall of text. A NEW PUZZLE EVERY DAY The daily puzzle is the same board for everyone, with a streak to keep alive. BUILT TO FEEL GOOD Tick-tick-tick as the pipe grows, a click at every corner, a snap at the outlet, then the flow. Sound and haptics stay in sync, because that is where the pleasure lives. PLAY ANYWHERE No account or sign-in. The full campaign works offline; an internet connection is only needed for store and ad features. Your progress stays on your device. HINTS WHEN YOU ARE STUCK Smart hints analyze your current board, preview a remaining route as a ghost pipe, and can roll back only the blocking sections when your drawing creates a dead end. You start with free hints, earn more with an optional rewarded video, or buy a pack. Pipewick PRO removes automatic ads. You can still choose a rewarded video to earn 1 hint. Free to play. Portrait only. Made for one hand.

Packlight is a cozy puzzle about fitting travel belongings into a suitcase. Shirts, pants, sneakers, a camera, books, an umbrella... rotate each piece and fill every empty space in the suitcase. When nothing is left over, the lid closes and your next trip opens. - EIGHT DESTINATIONS, 160 SUITCASES Jeju, Busan, Tokyo, Paris, the Alps and more, twenty suitcases each. Early trips are gentle; later ones add fixed compartments and longer pieces, and the difficulty rises slowly. - STARS, SOUVENIRS AND A DAILY PUZZLE Pack in fewer moves for more stars. Collect a souvenir from every destination for your passport, and keep a streak going with a new suitcase every day. - SIMPLE CONTROLS Tap a piece, then tap an empty space. Or drag it in. Tap it again, or press Rotate, to turn it. - NEVER STUCK Undo, restart, take a piece back out, or use a hint that puts one piece in the right place. Earn hints with stars, souvenirs and daily puzzles. - PLAYS OFFLINE No sign-in and no purchases. Every level plays without an internet connection, and your progress stays on your device. Some stages offer an optional ad for extra hints. Happy packing!

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Packlight at none against Pipewick's 4. Packlight also leads on update cadence (daily vs every 4 days). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
