ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Dune! holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Dune! has 545K ratings behind it against 9.2K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 42% of Don't Touch The Spikes's written reviews are positive against 28% of Dune!'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Don't Touch The Spikes ships an update every 2 months, Dune! fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 21, 2026 and October 23, 2026 respectively.
