ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Sqube Darkness holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Sqube Darkness has 32K ratings behind it against 61, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Spike Sprint's written reviews are positive against 36% of Sqube Darkness's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Spike Sprint ships an update every 5 months, Sqube Darkness every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 11, 2026 and September 25, 2026 respectively.
