Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Super Pixel Heroes at 4.6 against Running in Circle's 4.0. Super Pixel Heroes also leads on ratings volume (1K vs 1) and update cadence (every 3 months vs every 11 months). Running in Circle's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 10) and ads (none vs shown). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Super Pixel Heroes holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Super Pixel Heroes has 1K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Running in Circle's written reviews are positive against 78% of Super Pixel Heroes's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Running in Circle ships an update every 11 months, Super Pixel Heroes every 3 months. Both last shipped on November 2, 2026.
