Not just because the gameplay has a hook unlike anything I’ve played on an iOS device, but also because it’s got a fantastic aesthetic.” - IGN.com (9/10 Editor's Choice) ”While Bumpy Road is indeed a solid high scoring game, it’s the peripheral elements that transcend it from being merely a well-made video game to an unforgettable experience ... if you like high scoring games or touching works of art, then you won’t want to miss Bumpy Road ” - Toucharcade.com "Must Have" - Slidetoplay.com (4/4) ” ... playing it means feeling love, not love for the designers or the medium or the state of being meaningfully distracted or the sense of communion with everyone who does this or even the game itself, but love.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Train em up at Free against Bumpy Road's $2.99. Train em up also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6). Bumpy Road's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 9 months vs every 35 months). On in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
