Price, ratings, monetisation and update history for both games, side by side — with what reviewers say about each.
Different Color
Read full descriptionHide full description
Find the circle with a different color than the others. Each level has 10 games to play and gives you 3 lives, so you can make some mistakes in finding the different color. Making more than 3 wrong selections, will send you back one level! Each game comes with a different color. Each new level adds more circles and makes it more difficult to find the only circle that has a different color. There is no limit in levels to reach, the only limit is by the difficulty to select the circle, as they are getting smaller and smaller as you advance in the levels. Bigger screens like iPad or iPhone 6 plus, are allowing more levels. Have fun and enjoy!

This one's worth buying on your iOS device." - Pocket Tactics "Tiny Armies should be standard issue for all Apple Watch owners. It places an effortless punch right on the button that delivers a knockout." - The Zarf "This is the type of game you'd expect to play on a watch. Once you start playing - oh my gosh - it's like wait, they're attacking me! I'm not just swiping. It's not passive. These guys are moving trying to eliminate me. It's actually quite fun." - Apple WatchCast "One level of Tiny Armies takes a mere minute which makes it perfect for short play sessions. The game is fun and fairly challenging, you’ll need some good tactics to play a couple moves ahead and take down Red." - 5 Minute Games
