3Tris
Read full descriptionHide full description
Play a great classic of the past in a new mode. Enter the world of the third dimension and try to fit all the pieces that fall from above, at the beginning everything is very simple, but with time the game gets tough. And when the going gets tough the tough guys start playing! Try the new mode Augmented Reality and you can play 3Tris on the table at home, on the living room carpet or in the middle of a football field. The important thing is to always be focused and not lose your temper. To move the pieces just press on the red arrows, while to rotate them just press directly on the piece that is falling.
Boxism

Arrows crash in from every direction. Your only defence: a spinning four-coloured box at the centre of the screen. Rotate it so each arrow meets its matching-coloured face โ miss, and your shields take the hit. Lose them all, and it's game over. Boxism is a one-thumb arcade reflex game that's easy to learn and maddeningly hard to put down. FEATURES โข 16 attack angles โ arrows fly in from the full compass, not just four sides โข Shields & combo scoring โ misses cost a shield, not the run; streaks build a score multiplier; earn shields back every 50 points โข Hold to spin โ tap for precision, hold for speed; the rotation accelerates the longer you press โข Juice โ particle bursts, screen shake, slow-motion death, and haptic feedback on every catch โข Procedurally generated & always fair โ every run is solvable; difficulty ramps smoothly over time โข Instant restart โ back in the action in under a second โข Leaderboard โ compete for the highest score (Game Center)

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Boxism at every 6 days against 3Tris's every 21 months. 3Tris's advantage is iOS requirement (12.0 vs 14.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
