ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Stick Physics Hero holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Stick Physics Hero has 247 ratings behind it against 31, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 0% of Stick Physics Hero's written reviews are positive against 44% of Backflip Playground's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Stick Physics Hero ships an update fortnightly, Backflip Playground every 4 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 7, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
