ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Smash the Dummy holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Smash the Dummy has 445 ratings behind it against 46, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 81% of Kill Steve 2's written reviews are positive against 64% of Smash the Dummy's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Kill Steve 2 ships an update every 8 months, Smash the Dummy every 13 months. The most recent releases landed on October 22, 2026 and October 28, 2026 respectively.
