ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Don't Touch The Spikes holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Don't Touch The Spikes has 9.2K ratings behind it against 1.1K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 52% of Jumpy Jack's written reviews are positive against 42% of Don't Touch The Spikes's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Jumpy Jack ships an update every 23 months, Don't Touch The Spikes every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 25, 2026 respectively.
