ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Tricky Pipes holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Geometry Dash Lite has 257K ratings behind it against 301, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 70% of Geometry Dash Lite's written reviews are positive against 63% of Tricky Pipes's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Geometry Dash Lite ships an update every 2 months, Tricky Pipes every 4 months. The most recent releases landed on September 26, 2026 and September 23, 2026 respectively.
