Both are free to download. Don't Touch The Spikes sells 5 one-off in-app purchases and uu sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Don't Touch The Spikes holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Don't Touch The Spikes has 9.2K ratings behind it against 202, 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 47% of uu's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Don't Touch The Spikes ships an update every 2 months, uu every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 18, 2026 and August 30, 2026 respectively.
