Loopwing is a living murmuration you steer with one finger. A cloud of starlings flocks by the same simple rules real birds follow, so the shapes that ripple out of your touch are never quite the same twice. Sweep the flock through rings of light and it grows. Coil it tight when a hawk dives, because every bird it takes is health you lose. Survive into deep night and dawn brings the next day, endlessly, for as long as the flock holds together. No ads. Between flights the game pauses for one short, true fact about birds instead. A single $1.99 unlock turns them off forever if you would rather fly uninterrupted. Game Center keeps two boards: Top Score and Longest Flight. Your progress rides iCloud, so a new phone picks up right where the flock left off. Built native with SpriteKit and Metal, running at up to 120 Hz on ProMotion displays. Play in portrait or landscape on any iPhone or iPad. On iPhone Duo the sky fills both displays, folded or open.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Loopwing at none against Super Starfish's shown. Super Starfish's advantage is ratings volume (30K vs 1) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Super Starfish sells 16 one-off in-app purchases and Loopwing sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Loopwing holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Super Starfish has 30K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
Super Starfish ships an update every 3 weeks, Loopwing every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 27, 2026 and October 25, 2026 respectively.
