ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Steppy Pants holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Steppy Pants has 50K ratings behind it against 11, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 77% of Spunge Invaders's written reviews are positive against 61% of Steppy Pants's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Spunge Invaders ships an update every 10 days, Steppy Pants every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 11, 2026 respectively.
