Read full descriptionHide full description
Navigate a neon grid one step at a time. Pick up glowing shapes, build a trail behind you, then drop them onto their matching spots in order. Simple to understand, hard to master. Enemies patrol the board. Some follow fixed paths, others chase you down, and a few are smart enough to cut you off. One wrong step costs you everything you're carrying. The board doesn't pause. Plan your route or improvise fast. Complete each level in as few moves as possible to earn a perfect score. Hand-crafted levels, new ones added over time. Controls: D-pad. Available in English, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Italian, and Dutch.

Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Draggio at Free against Hoplite's $3.99. Draggio also leads on update cadence (every 2 days vs every 3 months). Hoplite's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and chart position (#165 vs unranked). On in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
