Sunsprout

Move the sun, plant a few seeds and watch life spread over grey ruins. Sunsprout is a calm puzzle game about light and shadow: no rush, no timers and no lives. THE LIGHT OF THE MOMENT Each seed grows with the light shining when you plant it, and whatever has grown stays. Plant, move the sun, plant again: most levels need two or three different lights. While you drag a seed, the tiles it would cover glow, so you can experiment as much as you like. EIGHT PLANTS, MANY IDEAS ⢠Grass: grows in the sun and can't climb or drop a step. ⢠Moss: loves the shade and can climb one step. ⢠Ivy: climbs walls and covers the ledge above. ⢠Mushroom: grows in the shade and also spreads diagonally. ⢠Sunflower: grows in a straight line toward the sun, crossing steps. ⢠Water lily: covers sunlit water, and its leaves become a bridge. ⢠Dandelion: grows like grass, and the wind carries its fluff to the ledge below. ⢠Moonflower: planted under the moon, it grows in moonlight. Later on you'll meet lanterns that light up the night, ice that blocks the way, steam vents that cast shade, clouds that hide the sun, mirrors that carry the sun across a whole row, prisms that split it in two, ramps that join two terraces, roots that link tiles that don't touch, the wind and moonlit nights. A JOURNEY THROUGH BIOMES Meadow, autumn forest, snowy valley, sleeping volcano, lantern night, frozen lake, steam valley, the city of mirrors, the mushroom forest, the crystal caves, rice terraces, the jungle, summer fields, lagoons, windy cliffs and the starry night. Every level has its own weather: breeze, rain, distant storms, crickets at dusk or cicadas in summer, with soft music in the background. AT YOUR OWN PACE ⢠Unlimited undo and restart. ⢠Dragonfly hints: the first one is free; the rest cost dewdrops, which you earn by playing. ⢠Golden flowers for anyone who wants an extra challenge. ⢠Stuck on a level? Leave it for later and come back from the map. ⢠Spin the island 360°, tilt it and pinch to zoom. ⢠Plays offline. FAIR AND STRESS-FREE Sunsprout is free to play. The first levels have no ads; after that there's one between levels, never while you play. A single purchase removes them for good. Themes change the look of the whole game and can be earned by playing or bought: nothing gives an advantage or rushes you. 999 levels across ten worlds and a grand finale: bring the whole world back to green.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: SUMI PATH at none against Sunsprout's 9. SUMI PATH also leads on ads (none vs shown). Sunsprout's advantage is update cadence (daily vs every 6 days). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
