Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Brain Crush! at 73% against Twisted Ropes's 23%. Brain Crush! also leads on update cadence (every 6 days vs fortnightly) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 14.0). Twisted Ropes's advantage is rating (4.7 vs 3.9) and ratings volume (101K vs 278). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Twisted Ropes holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Twisted Ropes has 101K ratings behind it against 278, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 73% of Brain Crush!'s written reviews are positive against 23% of Twisted Ropes's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Brain Crush! ships an update every 6 days, Twisted Ropes fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 21, 2026 and October 25, 2026 respectively.
