Our fans say it even better: Wipe that look off your face by Nordicblood "Hey, you! Yes. You. The one staring at these words with that weird look of confusion and amusement. Stop. You look stupid. This game starts easy, and you'll think you have it in the bag, then whammy, you're ported to a world of hair-tearing frustration. Stop. Wipe that arrogant look of confidence off your face. You wit succeed. No one escapes the Gyrosphere. No one. I mean, if you feel like you can get over the difficult controls and fling your ball over the abyss below and land on a little platform with a little circular target on it that, depending on your speed and trajectory, will launch you to another platform of equally frustrating obstacles. See. That's the face I'm looking for, curious and determined. Give it a go, you may like it. I do. I haven't yet reached the end of all of the paths. I've sacrificed life and limb for the 'sphere. Welcome to it kid." Please contact us with feedback at WeListen@pronetis.com. We’d love to hear from you.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: au at none against GyroSphere Trials's shown. au also leads on iOS requirement (8.0 vs 12.0). GyroSphere Trials's advantage is rating (4.2 vs 3.7) and ratings volume (1K vs 36). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
