THE INCIDENT is a fast-paced, retro-style action game. Run, dodge and jump your way to safety as an angry rain of just about everything in the world falls and builds a mountain of platforms for you to climb up, up… up to the source of it all: the cause of THE INCIDENT. "This iPhone/iPad game is really great - get it! $2. It makes me laugh every time I play it." —John Romero, Designer of Wolfenstein 3D, Doom and Quake. "A game you pick up quickly, but can't put back down." —Engadget "Gaming's Most Charming Vision of the Apocalypse" —Gizmodo "The controls work well, the graphics look cool, it's universal from the get go, and I really dig the whole concept behind the game." —Touch Arcade "Terrific little indie games like this are what make the iPhone platform really shine." —TUAW THE INCIDENT is easy to pick up but hard to master. It's a totally new gameplay concept and it's perhaps TOO addictive. It's loaded with power-ups, power-downs (d'oh!) and collectables. THE INCIDENT is a universal app that runs great on any iPhone or iPod touch, and on iPad. Buy once, play anywhere!

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Warheads holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.4. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 30 and 31 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 67% of Warheads's written reviews are positive against 70% of The Incident's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 4 months. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 21, 2026 respectively.
