Collect stars as you play to raise your score. Just when you start to feel like a stickman boss, things get complicated (or “sticky,” if you will) as you pass levels.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is monetization model: Flippy Knife at free with in-app purchases against Light's subscription. Light's advantage is ratings volume (194K vs 36K). On price, rating, review sentiment and update cadence there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Flippy Knife sells 12 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days and Light sells 17 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Light holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.6.
