Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Aricade at Free against Labyrinth 2 HD's $7.99. Aricade also leads on rating (4.8 vs 3.5) and update cadence (daily vs every 5 months). Labyrinth 2 HD's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On review sentiment, ratings volume, in-app purchases and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Aricade holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.5. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 22 and 11 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 82% of Labyrinth 2 HD's written reviews are positive against 75% of Aricade's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Labyrinth 2 HD ships an update every 5 months, Aricade daily. Both last shipped on November 3, 2026.
