ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Twisted Puzzle 3D holds the better App Store score, 4.1 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Twisted Puzzle 3D has 1.5K ratings behind it against 31, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of Tangled's written reviews are positive against 10% of Twisted Puzzle 3D's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
