Both are free to download. Bloo Kid 2 sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Platform Panic sells 4 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Platform Panic holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.3. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 386 and 124 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 82% of Bloo Kid 2's written reviews are positive against 69% of Platform Panic's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 4 months. The most recent releases landed on October 12, 2026 and October 10, 2026 respectively.
