ff - 3rd in "focus" (aa, uu, ff, au, rr, ao, rl, sp, th, ki, ci, sn, lo, ba, ov, sh, fi, do, ru & ti) Hit the lines, don't avoid them! Unlike aa or uu, ff is all about targeting. Aim to hit hollow dots, precision counts and you have to be spot on. All the fun of aa & uu but with a twist you'll love. Play 175 awesome levels right now, with more added each week just the levels in aa & uu. You can also top the leaderboard & earn medals! (bronze, silver and gold). There's 200 levels to solve right now, intertwined with all sorts of tweaks and surprises. You can also go back and replay any level you've already passed, at any time (Choose Level). If you're stuck on a really tricky level, skip it! (Tap Skip on the Fail Screen) If you can't wait, unlock all 200 levels and replay at your own pace! (Choose Level > Unlock All Levels) Thanks for all your support, I hope you're enjoying the "focus" series thus far. Handmade in Australia, General Adaptive

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: ff at none against Don't Touch The Spikes's shown. ff also leads on review sentiment (57% vs 42%) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 13.0). Don't Touch The Spikes's advantage is rating (4.3 vs 3.9) and ratings volume (9.2K vs 506). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Don't Touch The Spikes sells 5 one-off in-app purchases and ff 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 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Don't Touch The Spikes has 9.2K ratings behind it against 506, 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 57% of ff'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, ff every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 18, 2026 and August 16, 2026 respectively.
