This is glowmonkey's origin story.  The year is 1998. A mysterious enemy threatens to end the world by the year 2000. The enemy is hiding and building an army in multiple servers on the dark web. It mutates and grows stronger as it travels through the internet. Only the best, and coolest special agent can save the world. Go on an adventure to defeat the enemy and discover its secrets! Fans who have played the Choose Your Weapon games on desktop will enjoy the lore behind the stickman virus. Like those older games, this one is filled with a variety of fun weapons. Each weapon eliminates the stickmen in a unique way. However, many stickmen are immune to certain weapons, so watch out! Choose your weapon based on the enemies you encounter.

Verdict

The call

dropcult and Glowmonkey2k both sit at 4.8 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of Glowmonkey2k's written reviews are positive against 69% of dropcult's. Glowmonkey2k also leads on update cadence (every 3 days vs every 3 weeks) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.0). dropcult's advantage is ratings volume (25K vs 10). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
