DERE EVIL EXE is both a terrifying thriller with a gripping story and an unorthodox retro platformer with unique puzzles and obstacles. In DERE EVIL EXE, you step into the tiny shoes of a silent hero named 'Knightly'. Knightly must jump, run, and manipulate environments in order to survive the heart-racing journey through a stunning pixel art world. Within surreal structures lurk dangerous creatures known as 'corruptions'. They take the form of their creator's greatest fears. Their creepy creator, sporting a cunning visage of cheerfulness, hides in plain sight as she watches her prey fall deeper into her traps. Will Knightly be able to escape these pixelated nightmares? ===== “Take the challenge, and wade in, DERE EVIL EXE is unquestionably worth your time... 5/5” - Touch Arcade “An indie title that shifts from retro platformer to meta-horror, it pokes fun at and toys with its influences along the way.” - Rock Paper Shotgun “DERE EVIL EXE is yet another great game from AppSir we really enjoyed... 95/100” - Edamame Reviews ===== EERIE AND EXCEPTIONAL Finalist in the 15th annual International Mobile Gaming Awards and nominated for Best Storytelling in the 2019 Mobile Games Awards.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Just Kill Me. at none against DERE EVIL EXE's shown. Just Kill Me. also leads on iOS requirement (6.0 vs 13.0). DERE EVIL EXE's advantage is ratings volume (4.3K vs 386). On price, rating, review sentiment and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

DERE EVIL EXE holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: DERE EVIL EXE has 4.3K ratings behind it against 386, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 94% of Just Kill Me.'s written reviews are positive against 92% of DERE EVIL EXE's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
