Endless Doves – Collect Doves, Don't Crash! He dreams of flying... Who is he? Why does he crash? How does he fly? That doesn't matter! What does matter is obsessive bird collecting! Collect those birds and beat the scores of friends and people you don't even know! Brag on the usual social network hangouts then collect even more birds and do it all over again! Don't like doves? We have you covered. Using the doves as a crude form of currency (Dove Dollars?) you can unlock a whole other host of flying things. Like Pelicans and Chickens!... shhhh. It's based on our hit game '8 bit Doves' which is level based and not free. If you like this there's a good chance you will like that too so skip coffee one day and buy that instead! You play with only two buttons which means they are big and easy to hit with your thumbs. But then it's one of those super hard 'argh I hate this... but must have one more go' type of games too so yeah. That's about it. If you read this far you may as well hit the download button. enjoy :) or don't... it's free so you can always delete it again.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Endless Doves at 64% against Glitch Run's 25%. Glitch Run's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 11 months). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Endless Doves sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Glitch Run sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Glitch Run holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Glitch Run has 1.1K ratings behind it against 70, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 64% of Endless Doves's written reviews are positive against 25% of Glitch Run's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Endless Doves ships an update every 11 months, Glitch Run fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on August 17, 2026 and September 28, 2026 respectively.
