ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Rumble Squad holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Rumble Squad has 663 ratings behind it against 9, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 71% of Goblin's Workshop's written reviews are positive against 54% of Rumble Squad's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Goblin's Workshop ships an update every 3 weeks, Rumble Squad weekly. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
