Othello Quest is one of the largest othello (reversi) servers in the world with lots of beginners as well as world class players. Even if you are a beginner, you don't need to worry. There are very weak bots on the server anyone can beat with ease, so you can start from there and as your ratings improve, you can go on to stronger bots or other human players. You can also learn othello strategies with the built-in "How to Win at Othello" tutorial that covers everything from basic tips to advanced techniques. You can also play a non-rated game with your friends. All features are available for free. ※Important notes: Please play in areas with good network conditions. Devices that cannot be used in portrait mode (such as TVs) will not display correctly.

About

Gravity Four

Features
Read full description

Connect Four with gravity. Pick a column and your piece falls to the lowest empty square. Line up four in a row — vertically, horizontally or diagonally — and you win. That's the whole game. ■ Choose your board Four sizes, from the classic 6x7 up to a 10x12 monster. A wider board means more to read and a genuinely different game. Four in a row wins on every size. ■ Play solo Three difficulty levels. "Hard" searches ten moves ahead and will almost certainly beat you. "Easy" is tuned so a beginner can win — but it still blocks your threats. ■ Play with a friend on one device Pass the phone back and forth. No network, no waiting for an opponent — it works on a plane. ■ Play with a friend who isn't with you Create a six-character passphrase and send it to them. When they type it in, the two of you are matched. No sign-up. Passphrases are never listed publicly, so a stranger cannot wander into your game. ■ Play the world You are matched automatically with someone who picked the same board size. No sign-up. Their moves appear on your screen instantly. ■ Built to feel good - Tap a column, or drag sideways and release - A ghost piece shows where it will land before you commit - Pieces accelerate as they fall and bounce on landing - The winning four light up and connect No ads. No in-app purchases. No account. Open it and play.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Gravity Four at none against Othello Quest's 1. Gravity Four also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (weekly vs every 2 weeks). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
