ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Paper Battle holds the better App Store score, 4.1 against 2.9. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 33 and 76 respectively.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Rubylands ships an update every 3 weeks, Paper Battle every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on October 11, 2026 and October 17, 2026 respectively.
