Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Living Dead Pixels at 100% against Nebulous.io's 54%. Living Dead Pixels also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 13) and ads (none vs shown). Nebulous.io's advantage is rating (4.1 vs 1.0) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 45 months). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Nebulous.io holds the better App Store score, 4.1 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Nebulous.io has 2.6K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Living Dead Pixels's written reviews are positive against 54% of Nebulous.io's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Living Dead Pixels ships an update every 45 months, Nebulous.io every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 27, 2026 and October 14, 2026 respectively.
