A challenge lies before you, or rather above you. Can you surpass this vertical puzzle? Can you reach the top? And then what, will you stop and rest, or continue to climb higher. Climb Higher is a challenging physics based puzzle platformer where you must slingshot yourself up high, stick to whatever you can, shatter through everything that breaks, grow big, shrink down, become the master of your momentum, and reach even greater heights!

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Matexo at every 2 months against Climb Higher's every 11 months. Matexo also leads on rating (4.9 vs 4.6) and review sentiment (93% vs 79%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Climb Higher sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Matexo sells 4 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Matexo holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Matexo has 356 ratings behind it against 48, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 79% of Climb Higher's written reviews are positive against 93% of Matexo's.
Climb Higher ships an update every 11 months, Matexo every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 14, 2026 and October 21, 2026 respectively.
