ONE TAP. A UNIVERSE TO DISCOVER. Catch an orbit. Find your moment. Fling yourself toward something wonderful. FLINGER! is a one-thumb arcade game about timing, daring shortcuts, and the irresistible feeling that your next run could be your best. Take the safe catch, thread a risky gap, or reach for the distant long shot. One tap makes the difference. YOUR ROUTE. YOUR RISK. SAFE earns 1 point, RISK earns 4, and LONG SHOT earns 10. Catch a Guard Rail for your next shot, double your next catch, or widen a long-shot target. Ride wormholes and find rare golden planets: 10 shot points plus a separate 150 Stardust jackpot. FOLLOW THE UNEXPECTED The sky grows with your run. Discover ringed worlds, asteroid fields, auroras, and the Galaxy Heart. Take an optional three-shot RISK route through a Starwhale Passage, Inside the Moon, or a Living Constellation. Prefer a safer path? Keep flying your own way. A NEW SKY EVERY DAY Play Today's Sky, chase Bronze, Silver, and Gold, and return to past skies in the archive. Everyone gets the same daily sky; the route you take is yours. No entry cost, lost streaks, or pressure to keep up. BRING THE UNIVERSE HOME Uncover nine discoveries, collect worlds in your Home sky, and earn an optional starlight companion. Follow the clues and watch your little corner of the cosmos become a record of where you've been. EARN YOUR OWN LOOK Your final score becomes Stardust. Complete missions and catch jackpots for more. Explore 44 permanent cosmetics across hats, glasses, trails, landing effects, auras, and Home decorations. Try combinations in a practice flight, save three favorite outfits, and complete collections to earn Home crests. Stardust is earned through play and cannot be bought with money. CHAPTERS TO KEEP Take on a new three-stage adventure chapter each week. Complete its goals to earn 600 Stardust and a journal keepsake. Past chapters stay available, so you can explore at your own pace. ONE MORE GOAL Work toward three ongoing missions at your own pace. Replace a stuck mission after three completed runs without progress, at no Stardust cost. Chase 23 achievements and unlock star trails at 100, 200, 300, and 400 points. Score 501 or more in one run to earn Prism Eclipse permanently. FOUR WORLDS. YOUR FAVORITE FEEL. Start with Original, earn the luminous Prism Eclipse, or choose an optional paid skin: Cataclysm's black holes and supernovas, or Bloomwake's glowing botanical world. Encounters take on each skin's own character. Every unlocked skin includes a matching selectable app icon. Buying either paid skin also removes ads. SEND THE SKY. SETTLE THE SCORE. Challenge a friend to your best run with a playable sky link. Retry that same sky or start fresh with NEW SKY. Action messages stay at the top, and points sparkle on the planet you hit. Unlimited runs. No energy meter, subscriptions, or paid score advantages. Sound, haptics, and reduced-motion settings help you find your rhythm. How far will one more launch take you?

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Pogo Cactus at none against FLINGER!'s 2. Pogo Cactus also leads on ads (none vs shown) and device support (3 vs 1). On price there is nothing between them.
