ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Slime and Machinegun holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Slime and Machinegun has 266 ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 76% of Slime and Machinegun's written reviews are positive against 100% of SHAPE×HUNTER's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Slime and Machinegun ships an update every 5 days, SHAPE×HUNTER every 3 weeks. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
