ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Countdown to Halloween holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 2.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Countdown to Halloween has 579 ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 63% of Countdown to Halloween's written reviews are positive against 75% of Slime VR's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Countdown to Halloween ships an update every 2 months, Slime VR every 4 months. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 1, 2026 respectively.
