ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Jetpack Jump holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Jetpack Jump has 85K ratings behind it against 17, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 73% of Hurdle Hell's written reviews are positive against 28% of Jetpack Jump's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Hurdle Hell ships an update every 3 months, Jetpack Jump every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 4, 2026 and October 15, 2026 respectively.
