ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Cliff Diving Champ holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Backflip Madness 2 has 229 ratings behind it against 9, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 62% of Cliff Diving Champ's written reviews are positive against 79% of Backflip Madness 2's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Cliff Diving Champ ships an update every 8 months, Backflip Madness 2 every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 23, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
