Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Weapon Survivor at Free against Penguin Roll's $0.99. Weapon Survivor also leads on rating (4.7 vs 3.1) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 3 months). Penguin Roll's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 8) and ads (none vs shown). On device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Weapon Survivor is free to download; Penguin Roll costs $0.99 up front. Weapon Survivor sells 8 one-off in-app purchases. Penguin Roll asks for nothing beyond the download.
Weapon Survivor holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Weapon Survivor has 19K ratings behind it against 20, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 67% of Penguin Roll's written reviews are positive against 42% of Weapon Survivor's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Penguin Roll ships an update every 3 months, Weapon Survivor every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 11, 2026 respectively.
