Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Catch a Mouse at 80% against Crooked Path's 26%. Catch a Mouse also leads on ratings volume (270 vs 9). Crooked Path's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 10) and ads (none vs shown). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Catch a Mouse sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Crooked Path asks for nothing beyond the download.
Crooked Path holds the better App Store score, 4.1 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Catch a Mouse has 270 ratings behind it against 9, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 80% of Catch a Mouse's written reviews are positive against 26% of Crooked Path's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Catch a Mouse ships an update monthly, Crooked Path every 6 days. The most recent releases landed on October 31, 2026 and November 6, 2026 respectively.
