ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Smash the Dummy holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Smash the Dummy has 445 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 64% of Smash the Dummy's written reviews are positive against 100% of Skeleton Dance Party's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
