In Piloteer, a whimsical and serenely challenging physics-based game about learning to fly, a renowned inventor is determined to overcome the stigma associated with flying a jetpack and convince the world that jetpacks should be revered by all. Blending elements of both physics and trick-based games, players will need to maneuver their state-of-the-art jetpack through the skies while completing a myriad of increasingly difficult missions to change public perceptions. Players will find themselves immersed in a wholly integrated physics simulation, making the beautiful world around them feel dynamic, unpredictable, and alive. Ridiculous failure is imminent in Piloteer, making the accomplishments along the way feel all the more rewarding. Put on your jetpack and take to the skies! FEATURES • Increasingly challenging gameplay with sixty different missions • Three beautiful environments to fly around in • Career and Free Fly modes • Custom-composed, serene piano score • Silly and ridiculous physics-based ragdoll effects • Universal support • GameCenter achievements • Share replays and screenshots via Facebook, Email, or Twitter _______________________________________________________________________________ • TouchArcade (5/5): "It’s hard as nails, immensely satisfying, and just plain fun." • PocketGamer (8/10): "Bonkers, masochistic gameplay." • Gamezebo (4/5): "It’s about as serene as a bag of hammers in a washing machine."

Verdict
The clearest difference is price: DDDigger at Free against Piloteer's $2.99. DDDigger also leads on rating (4.8 vs 4.0) and ratings volume (18K vs 80). Piloteer's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 31) and ads (none vs shown). On device support 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
DDDigger is free to download; Piloteer costs $2.99 up front. DDDigger sells 28 one-off in-app purchases. Piloteer asks for nothing beyond the download.
DDDigger holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: DDDigger has 18K ratings behind it against 80, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 54% of Piloteer's written reviews are positive against 44% of DDDigger's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Piloteer ships an update every 3 weeks, DDDigger every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on October 17, 2026 and October 18, 2026 respectively.
