Look out, the castle is under attack! If only we'd built a giant hammer at the front gate. Oh wait, we did. It's HAMMER TIME! Your mission: fend off an onslaught of angry boulders with well-timed swings of your hammer. The longer you survive, the higher your score. It sounds simple, but when the action heats up and the boulders are rolling in thick and fast, one wrong swing of your hammer can mean the difference between glory and destruction. You can also unlock dozens of different hammers to help you in your quest for leaderboard domination, from the mighty Mjölnir, hammer of the Gods, to... a prosthetic leg (no it's not technically a hammer, but it gets the job done.) Take a swing at the addictive arcade action of HAMMER TIME!

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Hammer Time! at 4.1 against Simple Simoo's 3.6. Hammer Time! also leads on ratings volume (195 vs 5) and iOS requirement (6.0 vs 12.0). Simple Simoo's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 11). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Hammer Time! sells 11 one-off in-app purchases. Simple Simoo asks for nothing beyond the download.
Hammer Time! holds the better App Store score, 4.1 against 3.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Hammer Time! has 195 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 80% of Simple Simoo's written reviews are positive against 73% of Hammer Time!'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Simple Simoo ships an update every 5 months, Hammer Time! every 4 months. The most recent releases landed on September 29, 2026 and October 6, 2026 respectively.
