Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Shell Game at 100% against Dunk Hit's 57%. Shell Game also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 13.0). Dunk Hit's advantage is rating (4.6 vs 4.2) and ratings volume (157K vs 5). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Shell Game sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Dunk Hit sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Dunk Hit holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Dunk Hit has 157K ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Shell Game's written reviews are positive against 57% of Dunk Hit's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Shell Game ships an update every 3 months, Dunk Hit every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 27, 2026 and September 30, 2026 respectively.
