WallBalls is a fast puzzle game about drawing a line in the right place at the right time. Balls bounce around the board. You swipe to build a wall. If a ball hits the wall before it is finished, the wall breaks. That is the whole game, and it gets hard quickly. TWO WAYS TO PLAY ISOLATE Trap every ball in a room of its own before the 30 second clock burns out. Each level adds a ball. DOMINATE Wall off the board piece by piece and leave the balls as little space as you can. You have five lives, and every broken wall costs one. FIVE POWER-UPS • Bolt: walls build fast • Sun: one more life • Magnet: drag the balls where you want them • Flame: burn one ball • Clock: stop time for 5 seconds NEW IN 2.0 • A complete redesign: a sharper board, pixel art power-ups and clearer menus • Built for current iPhone and iPad screens • No ads • English and Spanish Game Center leaderboards for both modes.

Welcome to Sylva, a puzzle game where every branch counts. Grow a living tree and guide its branches toward each target. But be careful: every new branch changes the balance of your tree. Grow too far in the wrong direction and a branch may fall, taking part of your creation with it. Observe, adapt, and find the right way to grow through every challenge. Features: • Grow and shape your own unique tree • Solve physics-based puzzle levels • Face dangerous zones and strange anomalies • Discover portals, black holes, mirrors, and more • Create your own challenges in Creator Mode • Play levels made by the community • Customize the game with a wide range of themes • Compare your scores on global leaderboards • Push your limits in Infinite Mode As time passes, older branches become fixed and can no longer move. Every decision shapes what your tree can become. How far can you make it grow?

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Sylva at none against WallBalls's 6. Sylva also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs every 12 months). WallBalls's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
