Our fans say it even better: Wipe that look off your face by Nordicblood "Hey, you! Yes. You. The one staring at these words with that weird look of confusion and amusement. Stop. You look stupid. This game starts easy, and you'll think you have it in the bag, then whammy, you're ported to a world of hair-tearing frustration. Stop. Wipe that arrogant look of confidence off your face. You wit succeed. No one escapes the Gyrosphere. No one. I mean, if you feel like you can get over the difficult controls and fling your ball over the abyss below and land on a little platform with a little circular target on it that, depending on your speed and trajectory, will launch you to another platform of equally frustrating obstacles. See. That's the face I'm looking for, curious and determined. Give it a go, you may like it. I do. I haven't yet reached the end of all of the paths. I've sacrificed life and limb for the 'sphere. Welcome to it kid." Please contact us with feedback at WeListen@pronetis.com. We’d love to hear from you.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: au at none against GyroSphere Trials's shown. au also leads on iOS requirement (8.0 vs 12.0). GyroSphere Trials's advantage is rating (4.2 vs 3.7) and ratings volume (1K vs 36). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and in-app purchases 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. au sells 3 one-off in-app purchases and GyroSphere Trials sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
GyroSphere Trials holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: GyroSphere Trials has 1K ratings behind it against 36, so its average is the more settled of the two.

au ships an update every 5 weeks, GyroSphere Trials every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 6, 2026 respectively.
