Lots of guns, lots of bullets, but no violence. In Impulsive Force guns fire bullets continuously. When the player touches the left side of their screen the guns rotate anticlockwise and when the right side of their screen is touched the guns rotate clockwise. The player must rotate the guns so that the fired bullets propel a puck to the end-zone. Stars are awarded depending on the time taken to get to the end-zone. These stars are used to unlock later levels. The game features 60 levels.
Switchgear
Read full descriptionHide full description
Switchgear is an endless system of rotating cogs where you spin around in an endless circle of rotating gears while participating in a hunt where you are both the hunter and the hunted at the same time. The aim of the game is to collect all the items that appear to beat your highest score, and unlock achievement cogs, whilst avoiding falling off the cog, being crushed between the cog teeth or caught by enemies whose purpose is to stop you. Collect power ups to help you stay one step ahead where every second counts.

Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Switchgear at Free against Impulsive Force's $1.99. Switchgear also leads on update cadence (monthly vs every 28 months). Impulsive Force's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.0). On in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
