ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Hungry Balls! holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Hungry Balls! has 3K ratings behind it against 525, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 64% of Spider Guy's written reviews are positive against 45% of Hungry Balls!'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Spider Guy ships an update monthly, Hungry Balls! every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 4, 2026 and November 5, 2026 respectively.
