# Tricky Castle vs Same Color  3D

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Tricky Castle at 85% against Same Color  3D's 43%. Tricky Castle also leads on ratings volume (6.4K vs 1K). Same Color  3D's advantage is rating (4.7 vs 4.5). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Tricky Castle sells 4 one-off in-app purchases and Same Color  3D sells 9 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Same Color  3D holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Tricky Castle has 6.4K ratings behind it against 1K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 85% of Tricky Castle's written reviews are positive against 43% of Same Color  3D's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Tricky Castle ships an update every 5 weeks, Same Color  3D every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 18, 2026 and September 26, 2026 respectively.
