ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Punch Kick Duck holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Punch Kick Duck has 1.6K 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 80% of Punch Kick Duck'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, Punch Kick Duck every 3 weeks. Both last shipped on October 13, 2026.
