ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Gumslinger holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Gumslinger has 15K ratings behind it against 571, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 82% of Carpet Bombing's written reviews are positive against 76% of Gumslinger's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Carpet Bombing ships an update every 3 weeks, Gumslinger monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 26, 2026 and October 31, 2026 respectively.
