Swapperoo - the friendly puzzle game intent on your defeat. *New: the INFINITY update - Endless, Gauntlet and Timed Gauntlet modes! "incredibly clever, deeply strategic, has an inviting visual style that begs to be interacted with, and is just plain fun." Touch Arcade, 5 stars ***** The rules are simple: tap an arrow to move it in the direction it faces. Make a row of 3 tiles of the same color and the tiles disappear. If that sounds too easy, don't worry - you'll find yourself in situations that require clever manipulation of the game board. There's an assortment of objectives to keep you on your toes: tiles that chase you, tiles that must be matched within a few moves, tiles that must be protected, and lots more. As well as 38 freeform stages which play out differently every time, we have created 75 challenges with unique solutions and an endless mode, so the game is crammed with content to keep you busy! Crafted with care for your phone and tablet by the creators of the Quell puzzle trilogy. Thanks! Joe and Lewis (Fallen Tree Games).

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Swapperoo at 4.2 against Paintball 3's 1.0. Swapperoo also leads on price ($2.99 vs $9.99) and ratings volume (92 vs 1). Paintball 3's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 66%). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Swapperoo costs $2.99 and Paintball 3 $9.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Swapperoo holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Swapperoo has 92 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 66% of Swapperoo's written reviews are positive against 100% of Paintball 3's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
