Longevity takes the classic 4-in-a-row game to a whole new level. Longevity shows that a simple addition to game mechanics can greatly increase the complexity of the game. How? This game is basically 4-in-a-row with expiring pieces. With each piece you place, select its longevity—how long it will last (10, 15, 20, 25 or 30 turns) The rules are still the same. First person that connects at least 4 pieces in a row will win. But with expiring pieces, the game becomes less predictable, and becomes more strategic. Set up traps with quickly expiring pieces, or trump the other player's plans with a longer lasting piece, or even fool with a decoy piece that isn't part of the plan.. (heh heh).. The possibilities are endless. Various styles of gameplay are possible :) First to score 3 points, wins! Fun for all ages! ==== Features Real Time Online play, and an offline mode - You may also play online matches anonymously without logging in! Good for those practice sessions~ - Invite friends to matches - Remember to turn on Notifications when you want to play but can't find any other players~ You'll get notified when a match is found!

Chaos Four is four in a row with a chaotic twist. Every turn, there is a small chance that you might have to play a mini-game: coin flip, trivia, math, a tiny bird game, and a bunch of others. If you lose the mini-game, one of your discs, selected randomly, is deleted. Gravity is applied, win conditions are checked, and the game continues. This game mechanic is the Chaos. Four in a row is a solved game. This means that if both players play a perfect game, a win is guaranteed to the first player. Chaos Four is not a solved game. This is due to the Chaos. Even the Hard Bot, which plays a perfect game, can lose. So can you. Free to download, no ads. Play with a friend, or against the Bot.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Longevity at none against ChaosFour's 1. Longevity also leads on iOS requirement (10.0 vs 18.2). ChaosFour's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 10 days vs every 18 months). On price, rating, review sentiment and device support there is nothing between them.
