ZenDots is a delightfully playful mashup of old school pinball, and classic brick breakers! Take a few minutes to drop some dots! Use the flippers to whack the white dot into the color dots. Let the color dots fall off the screen, without losing your white dot. When all the color dots are gone, the level is cleared!
Vacuum Drop!
Read full descriptionHide full description
Vacuum Drop! is a colorful and fast-paced puzzle game where your goal is to clear every ball from the funnel before it overflows. Tap the right holes to collect same-colored balls falling from above—be quick, be accurate, and plan your taps wisely! How It Works: Tap one or more colored holes to activate them. Matching colored balls instantly move toward the selected holes. The movement is automatic—once all valid balls are collected, the action ends. You win by clearing all balls before the funnel fills or your moves run out. Challenge Rules: Each level has a limited number of moves. Balls keep spawning during the level—act fast before the funnel fills. Multiple holes can be active at once, allowing for combo collection. Overflowing or inefficient tapping leads to failure! Why You’ll Love It: One-tap gameplay that’s easy to learn, hard to master. Visually satisfying ball motion and collection. Clean and colorful art style with intuitive design. Progressive challenge with tighter limits and faster drops as levels advance.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Vacuum Drop! at none against ZenDots's 4. Vacuum Drop! also leads on update cadence (every 3 days vs fortnightly). ZenDots's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 12.0). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
