# Impossible Lines vs Bold Attack

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Impossible Lines at 75% against Bold Attack's 19%. Impossible Lines also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 15) and ads (none vs shown). Bold Attack's advantage is update cadence (daily vs every 7 months) and rating (4.6 vs 4.2). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Bold Attack sells 15 one-off in-app purchases. Impossible Lines asks for nothing beyond the download.

Bold Attack holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Bold Attack has 418 ratings behind it against 58, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 75% of Impossible Lines's written reviews are positive against 19% of Bold Attack's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Impossible Lines ships an update every 7 months, Bold Attack daily. The most recent releases landed on September 30, 2026 and October 6, 2026 respectively.
