Yarn! A Jumping Physics Game and Rope Man both sit at 4.4 stars, but that hides the real split: 88% of Yarn! A Jumping Physics Game's written reviews are positive against 51% of Rope Man's. Rope Man's advantage is ratings volume (41K vs 8). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Rope Man holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Rope Man has 41K ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 88% of Yarn! A Jumping Physics Game's written reviews are positive against 51% of Rope Man's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Yarn! A Jumping Physics Game ships an update monthly, Rope Man fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on September 18, 2026 and September 24, 2026 respectively.
