Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Cube Critters at 71% against Viola’s Quest's 28%. Cube Critters also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (7.0 vs 15.2). Viola’s Quest's advantage is ratings volume (38K vs 31) and rating (4.7 vs 4.4). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Viola’s Quest holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Viola’s Quest has 38K ratings behind it against 31, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 71% of Cube Critters's written reviews are positive against 28% of Viola’s Quest's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Cube Critters ships an update every 4 weeks, Viola’s Quest weekly. The most recent releases landed on November 2, 2026 and November 4, 2026 respectively.
