Press/Release is a tongue-in-cheek commentary on the simplicity of button mashing. While we have an appreciation for button mashers, the idea behind Press/Release was to remove the veil of theming and make a game that was LITERALLY about the act of pressing, and releasing, a button. THE button simulator you’ve been dreaming of!

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Dice Quest at none against Press/Release's 1. Dice Quest also leads on review sentiment (78% vs 48%) and rating (5.0 vs 4.8). Press/Release's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (daily vs every 4 days). On price, ratings volume and device support there is nothing between them.
