Game Stitch Podcast "One More Line is viciousness without respite. A hardcore gaming experience" PocketGamer "An addictive time-waster perfect for downtime at the office or the daily commute" Techly.com "It's a twitchy arcade game that's something of a hybrid between the steering mechanic of slingshot racer and those rotating planet platformer games that are so darn popular." Toucharcade.com "SMG has got the formula precisely right. It's a fast, eye-catching game that's mechanically difficult, but the controls are simple and intuitive, so you never feel cheated, only beaten by your inability." ABC.net.au "An addictive and challenging yet deceptively simple arcade game" Jay is Games "One More Line is most entertaining single button game that I’ve encountered." superatomica.com "The controls are responsive and accurate, and if you have a good self-control, as well as a propensity for the psychedelic seventies, this could be the right game for you. 8/10" IGN Italia ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Original music by Sydney composer Batterie: Listen / Buy here: http://batterie.com.au/listen/

The call

The clearest difference is ads: One More Line at none against Shape Rhythm's shown. One More Line also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 7 months) and rating (4.5 vs 4.2). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

CostPrice · In-app purchases · Ads · Monetization

Both are free to download. One More Line sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Shape Rhythm sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

One More Line holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.2. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 891 and 195 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 45% of One More Line's written reviews are positive against 48% of Shape Rhythm's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

One More Line ships an update every 3 weeks, Shape Rhythm every 7 months. The most recent releases landed on October 17, 2026 and October 16, 2026 respectively.
