Inspired by the world record contest of how many zip and unzips in 30 seconds, you will have your chances to see how fast you can do it. No point? Stupid? Yeah, probably. Download it and try for yourself and gather your own opinion, play it, get some top scores, and pass it to your friends, or see if you can beat the world record. To try your shot at beating the world record (in game style): Go to Settings, switch to advanced mode, and use the Med setting. Exit settings, and play. Be careful, could be very exhausting! World record is 166 times in 30 seconds. Can you beat it? Rate it and post your scores! Soon will have a global leader board. Game is free, and includes: ::: Standard Format ::: Zip back and forth as fast as you can to keep the timer low. The lower the timer, the better the score! But be careful, going off of the screen will make you lose hold of the zipper and you will lose valuable time! ::: Advanced Format ::: Zip back and forth as fast as you can. As the timer counts down try to keep getting points by going faster and faster. The more points the better the score. But be careful, going off of the screen will make you lose hold of the zipper and you will lose valuable time! Standard and Advanced mode each include 3 levels each of Easy, Medium, Long, each with a different top 10 score board. ************************************ What some of our beta testers said. ************************************ - "Game is Fun, passed it around to everyone in the house. Got 5.6 seconds on the standard, easy format. No one could beat it! We had a blast trying." - "Had fun with it, sure was exhausting. Can see where this could catch on." - "It's all right, don't know if i'd play it over, and over. But I could see the competition in it if I had friends. :(" - "Are you sure it's free?" ************************************* Well now it's your choice. Download it, try it out, and see how it is.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Tetris® at 4.5 against Zipper Game's 2.2. Tetris® also leads on ratings volume (458K vs 203) and chart position (#148 vs unranked). Zipper Game's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (45% vs 19%). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Zipper Game sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Tetris® sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Tetris® holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 2.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Tetris® has 458K ratings behind it against 203, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 45% of Zipper Game's written reviews are positive against 19% of Tetris®'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
