ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Hill Climb Racing holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Hill Climb Racing has 139K ratings behind it against 6.8K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 62% of Hill Climb Racing's written reviews are positive against 64% of Getting Over It's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Hill Climb Racing ships an update every 3 weeks, Getting Over It every 5 days. Both last shipped on November 12, 2026.
