HINTS! - To "die by helicopter" it's best to get a ways into the game until you see the helicopters appear lower above buildings or in between buildings. They're easier to splat yourself on then. - To jump in the last 0.5m of a building, pick a building with a border on the roof and use that as a rough guide for when to jump.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Rush City holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Rush City has 324 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 93% of Cat Hanabi's written reviews are positive against 81% of Rush City's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Cat Hanabi ships an update every 8 months, Rush City every 2 months. Both last shipped on September 4, 2026.
