Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Goober Dash at 77% against Downhill Smash's 41%. Goober Dash also leads on ads (none vs shown). Downhill Smash's advantage is ratings volume (22K vs 324) and rating (4.8 vs 4.5). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Downhill Smash sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Goober Dash sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Downhill Smash holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Downhill Smash has 22K ratings behind it against 324, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 41% of Downhill Smash's written reviews are positive against 77% of Goober Dash's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Downhill Smash ships an update every 3 weeks, Goober Dash every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 10, 2026 and November 7, 2026 respectively.
