ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Ball Into holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: sugar (game) has 410 ratings behind it against 67, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of Ball Into's written reviews are positive against 82% of sugar (game)'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Ball Into ships an update fortnightly, sugar (game) monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 27, 2026 respectively.
