On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.8 for Mars against 4.7 for Canyon Crash.

Written reviews are what separate them: 91% of Mars's written reviews are positive against 90% of Canyon Crash's.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Mars ships an update monthly, Canyon Crash every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on October 30, 2026 and October 22, 2026 respectively.
