# Kid Beowulf vs Devolver Tumble Time

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Kid Beowulf at 100% against Devolver Tumble Time's 56%. Kid Beowulf also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 18). Devolver Tumble Time's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 15 months) and ratings volume (923 vs 7). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Devolver Tumble Time sells 17 one-off in-app purchases. Kid Beowulf asks for nothing beyond the download.

Devolver Tumble Time holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Devolver Tumble Time has 923 ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Kid Beowulf's written reviews are positive against 56% of Devolver Tumble Time's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
