EVERY GAME BECOMES A PAINTING Draw lines to trap the bouncing dots, and every board you finish becomes a painting with its own title, like “Composition No. 2 with Yellow, Red, and Blue.” Every day the whole world gets the same board for free. You swipe and a line grows both ways from your finger. If a dot hits it before it’s finished, it breaks. Close off a space with no dots in it and it fills with paint. Paint three quarters of the open canvas and the painting is yours. You get three tries at each day’s board. Mondays are gentle, and the week builds to Saturday. If your friends have played, you race whoever is just ahead of you, and when you finish you can lay their lines over yours in pencil to see how they did it. Your first painting hangs in your gallery, and your fastest time is kept. You can also paint one canvas together, with up to three of you: passing one phone around, on your own phones in the same room, or taking turns from far away, a line at a time. The full edition is one purchase, shared with your family. It opens every board since No. 1, all sixty Solo levels, painting far away with two friends, and whatever we add later. Today’s board stays free either way. • A daily leaderboard, a daily challenge and ten achievements in Game Center. • Widgets for today’s board and your paintings. • Siri can start today’s board or tell you how you did. • Today’s board and Solo work offline. No ads, no account needed. Terms of Use: https://playcomposition.com/terms/ Privacy Policy: https://playcomposition.com/privacy/

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Composition at none against The Inkline's shown. The Inkline's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs weekly) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 26.0). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
