Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Smash Dude at 4.5 against Falling Guy ™'s 3.1. Smash Dude also leads on ratings volume (11K vs 17) and update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 5 months). Falling Guy ™'s advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 8) and ads (none vs shown). On price, review sentiment and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Smash Dude sells 8 one-off in-app purchases. Falling Guy ™ asks for nothing beyond the download.
Smash Dude holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Smash Dude has 11K ratings behind it against 17, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 77% of Smash Dude's written reviews are positive against 80% of Falling Guy ™'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Smash Dude ships an update every 5 weeks, Falling Guy ™ every 5 months. The most recent releases landed on October 23, 2026 and October 20, 2026 respectively.
