Snake Balls holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Snake Balls has 824 ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 69% of Scrolling Snake's written reviews are positive against 12% of Snake Balls's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Scrolling Snake ships an update every 4 months, Snake Balls every 6 months. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 23, 2026 respectively.
