Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Tank Hero costs $0.99 and Backflip Madness $0.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Tank Hero holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Backflip Madness has 13K ratings behind it against 1.5K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 76% of Tank Hero's written reviews are positive against 82% of Backflip Madness's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Tank Hero ships an update every 8 months, Backflip Madness every 5 months. The most recent releases landed on October 19, 2026 and October 20, 2026 respectively.
