Pullchain
Read full descriptionHide full description
Pullchain is a puzzle about where you put things down. Each turn you place a single stone. It never moves again ā but if it lands beside its equal, it pulls that stone in and doubles, and the doubled stone slides on into the next, and the next. Build a staircase, leave the right cell open, and one drop climbs all the way up. ⢠No sliding, no swiping: every placement is a decision ⢠Chains multiply ā the longer the run, the more each merge is worth ⢠When a stone could merge with two, you pick which ā or tap the stone itself to pull them all in at once ⢠The board grows as you do, from 4Ć4 to 9Ć9, and brings rocks with it ⢠WILD stones and BOMBs turn up when you least expect them ⢠Pick a trait at every milestone and make each run its own ⢠Keep a stone in the bag for later, and reach for the tools ā Breaker, Swapper, Purge ā when the board closes in ⢠Classic mode: an empty board and nothing but numbers ⢠A half-minute tutorial, then the game gets out of your way ⢠In 16 languages No forced ads, ever. A video plays only when you ask for one: a second chance with two bombs when a run ends, or a refill for an empty tool. A one-time purchase removes even those ā the second chance and the refills come without the video. No timers. No account needed: your bests go on the global leaderboards under a name the game makes up for you, like Amber Fox 42.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Sudoku Santai at none against Pullchain's 1. Sudoku Santai also leads on ads (none vs shown). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
