Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Samorost 3 costs $1.99 and RPS Lizard Spock $0.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
RPS Lizard Spock holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Samorost 3 has 568 ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 75% of Samorost 3's written reviews are positive against 29% of RPS Lizard Spock's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Samorost 3 ships an update every 7 months, RPS Lizard Spock every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on October 20, 2026 and October 5, 2026 respectively.
