ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Slingshot Cowboy holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Royal Revolt! has 1.4K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 52% of Slingshot Cowboy's written reviews are positive against 92% of Royal Revolt!'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 1, 2026 and October 14, 2026 respectively.
