Control
Read full descriptionHide full description
THE CONTROL ROOM You are the operator. The station is failing. Monitor critical systems, investigate unusual events, and make the right decisions before the control room goes offline. There is no character to control and no complicated movement. Everything happens through your control panel. Watch the power. Control the temperature. Monitor oxygen. Manage the doors. Check security cameras. Investigate warnings. Decide what to trust. But every level changes the rules. 10 levels introduce 10 different emergencies, from power failures and overheating to camera deception, conflicting systems, false alarms, multiple failures, and an unknown presence inside the station. Some problems are obvious. Some are not. And sometimes, the control room itself may be lying to you. Can you keep the station running? Take control. Stay alert. Make the right decision.
Scarecrow Sandbox
Read full descriptionHide full description
Scarecrow Sandbox is the ragdoll physics sandbox game where scarecrows are your test subjects and chaos is the only rule! Drag weapons, explosives, vehicles and scarecrows onto the field, poke them, arm them, launch them, set them on fire and watch realistic ragdoll physics do the rest. A farm full of destruction and experiments waiting to happen. • Experiment with physics - Throw, drop, stack and smash. Every scarecrow is a fully jointed ragdoll that flails, tumbles and comes apart limb by limb. • Massive arsenal of weapons - Pistols, rifles, a flamethrower, a rocket launcher, chainsaws, knives and more. Hand any weapon to a scarecrow and it will use it. • Explosives - Bombs, landmines and fuses. Trigger them yourself or let something heavy set them off. • Syringes - Inject a scarecrow to change how it moves, fights and falls. • Vehicles - Drive a car, a tractor or a tank with a working cannon. Seat a scarecrow, floor it and see what survives the crash. • Fire that spreads - Straw burns. Torch one scarecrow near a hay bale and watch the whole field go up. • Slow motion & pause - Freeze the chaos mid-air, line up the perfect shot, then let it rip. Ready for the ultimate ragdoll sandbox? Grab a scarecrow and start experimenting!

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Control at none against Scarecrow Sandbox's 4. Control also leads on ads (none vs shown). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
