ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Sqube Darkness holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Sqube Darkness has 32K ratings behind it against 275, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 36% of Sqube Darkness's written reviews are positive against 60% of Pass and Boum's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Sqube Darkness ships an update every 5 weeks, Pass and Boum every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 30, 2026 and October 27, 2026 respectively.
