Our online presence is growing, making Cyber Security awareness more important. As new technologies emerge, cyber criminals also develop new ways to target individuals' and companies' data. Staying safe online isn’t just a slogan anymore, it’s a necessity. To encourage UNSW students to be more aware of their actions online, UNSW has built this app to further increase awareness of common Cyber Security threats and counter measures that can be taken. A.L.I.C.E is a retro style 2D platform side scrolling game, with enemies to zap, puzzles to solve, and an overall learning experience. Players choose their avatar, and the game begins with your identity being stolen. The player journeys through 5 levels, faces numerous cyber threats, and uses their wits to solve cyber puzzles. A friendly A.I. (Artificial Intelligence) will help the player through the game, and provide tips and hints on how to defeat the final Cyber Threat boss, to retrieve their identity back.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: A.L.I.C.E at none against Toy Warfare's 10. A.L.I.C.E also leads on ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (89% vs 64%). Toy Warfare's advantage is update cadence (every 6 days vs every 3 months) and rating (4.8 vs 4.4). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Toy Warfare holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Toy Warfare has 7.5K ratings behind it against 14, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 89% of A.L.I.C.E's written reviews are positive against 64% of Toy Warfare's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

A.L.I.C.E ships an update every 3 months, Toy Warfare every 6 days. The most recent releases landed on September 15, 2026 and September 25, 2026 respectively.
