Liquid Tangle 3D

Read full description

Liquid Tangle is a fun and challenging puzzle game where you drag to control tangled pipes and guide colorful liquid into matching bottles. Clear all the bottles to complete the level — but be careful! If you can’t connect the pipes correctly, you’ll lose. Sometimes the pipes get twisted, and you’ll need to untangle them before you can flow the liquid into the right bottles. With each level, the puzzles become trickier, testing your logic and reflexes.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Liquid Tangle 3D at none against Watercolors's 8. Liquid Tangle 3D also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs every 2 months). Watercolors's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (7.0 vs 12.0). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
