# Tiny Tower vs Slime Evolutionary Path

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Tiny Tower at 55K against Slime Evolutionary Path's 765. Tiny Tower also leads on rating (4.7 vs 4.4) and chart position (#59 vs unranked). Slime Evolutionary Path's advantage is review sentiment (84% vs 76%) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Tiny Tower sells 11 one-off in-app purchases and Slime Evolutionary Path sells 5 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Tiny Tower holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Tiny Tower has 55K ratings behind it against 765, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 76% of Tiny Tower's written reviews are positive against 84% of Slime Evolutionary Path'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 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 22, 2026 respectively.
