Blocks of different heights stand on a sheet. Make every square the same height and the plate is done. Any height will do. Tap a square and it rises by one, while the four squares beside it drop by one. Heights wrap at three: a square pushed past the top falls all the way to zero. That is the whole rule. Everything after it is deciding where to press, and in what order. • 108 plates, growing from 2x2 to 5x5 • Every plate has a par. How close you came is kept on a scorecard, read like golf • A new puzzle arrives each day • Turn the sheet to see behind a block • Solved plates are kept, with the board and the moves you made Quiet by design. It honours the silent switch, and there is nothing to sign up for. No advertising. Stages 21 to 108 open with a single purchase. No subscription.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: A guide to Shogi at none against LEVEL FIELD's 1. A guide to Shogi also leads on device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.6 vs 18.0). LEVEL FIELD's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 3 days vs every 8 months). On price there is nothing between them.
