ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Canvas Run holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Canvas Run has 35K ratings behind it against 21, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 74% of Snake vs Number Blocks's written reviews are positive against 29% of Canvas Run's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
