Claustral Meridian
Read full descriptionHide full description
A geography quiz that runs on a single gesture. A question appears — a country's name, its flag or its capital, depending on the mode you choose. Then the planet shows up behind it, and the camera starts closing in on the region where the answer is. It never quite gets there: it stops somewhere around it, and it never tells you which one. The longer you wait, the more you see — and the less the round pays. There is no time bar, because the globe is the clock. You answer with one tap on the country. No multiple choice, no typing, no lists of options: nothing between your finger and the map. TODAY'S CHALLENGE Twenty questions, the same twenty for everyone, in the same order. It changes at midnight, so today's score is today's. CLOSE COUNTS Not knowing exactly where a country is, but knowing roughly where it is, pays too. Tap near it and you collect part of the prize; the further off, the less you get. Three mistakes end the run. AFTERWARDS A review of the game: where each country actually was, its flag, its capital, three of its cities, and the spot you tapped. Touch any of them and the globe flies there. RANKING Two tables: today's, with everyone's daily challenge, and all time, with your best game. No account and nothing to type: the game gives you a name. WHAT'S INSIDE - 208 countries, ordered by how well known they really are: five years of Wikipedia readership in nine languages, plus population and area. No difficulty written by hand. - A globe drawn inside the app, with real borders and coastlines from Natural Earth. - Nine languages: Catalan, English, Spanish, French, German, Japanese, Korean, Simplified Chinese and Traditional Chinese. - Works offline. Everything travels inside the app: no map servers, no tiles, no account to create. From Claustral.

Grab a pickaxe and start digging. Deepforge is a relaxing idle mining game where every tap, every miner and every upgrade takes you deeper. DIG DEEPER Break through layer after layer of an endless mine, from topsoil to granite, basalt and beyond. Every layer has its own ore, and deeper ore is worth more. Watch for rich veins and Motherlodes worth three times as much. BUILD YOUR CREW Hire miners and put them to work where they earn the most, or let Auto Assign do it for you. Unlock more slots and watch your crew swing away. GROW A HUGE SKILL TREE Spend your cash on a 538-skill tree with six branches: miner speed, ore value, tap power, dig speed, offline earnings and more. Unlock keystones for big permanent jumps. EARN WHILE YOU'RE AWAY Your miners keep digging when you close the game. Come back to a pile of cash waiting for you. ASCEND Reset your mine for permanent Paragon levels that make every future run faster. PLAY YOUR WAY Ads are always optional: watch one only if you want a boost, a bigger ore cart haul or double offline earnings. Or get the one-time Foreman Pass to skip every ad and earn 50% more offline.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Claustral Meridian at none against Deepforge's 1. Deepforge's advantage is update cadence (every 2 days vs fortnightly). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
