ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Pure Gore (Physics sandbox) holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Pure Gore (Physics sandbox) has 983 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 90% of Doodle Nuke's written reviews are positive against 83% of Pure Gore (Physics sandbox)'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Doodle Nuke ships an update every 10 days, Pure Gore (Physics sandbox) every 7 months. The most recent releases landed on October 9, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
