CUBE is a one-tap arcade climber. Your cube bounces from wall to wall on its own — tap to make it jump, and time it right to bounce higher. Miss, and you fall. The climb gets harder as you go: spikes, swinging pendulums, sliding blocks, and gates that flick open and shut. One hit ends the run. Connect Game Center to see how your best stacks up against everyone else. Free to play, with ads.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: CUBE! at none against Hop's 1. CUBE! also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (5.0 vs 4.5). Hop's advantage is ratings volume (30K vs 1) and device support (3 vs 1). On price there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Hop sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. CUBE! asks for nothing beyond the download.
CUBE! holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Hop has 30K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 85% of Hop's written reviews are positive against 100% of CUBE!'s.
Hop ships an update every 3 months, CUBE! weekly. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and October 9, 2026 respectively.
