Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is update cadence: Devolver Tumble Time at fortnightly against Roller Polar's every 9 months. Devolver Tumble Time also leads on rating (4.7 vs 4.3) and ratings volume (923 vs 62). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Roller Polar sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Devolver Tumble Time sells 17 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Devolver Tumble Time holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Devolver Tumble Time has 923 ratings behind it against 62, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 59% of Roller Polar's written reviews are positive against 56% of Devolver Tumble Time's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Roller Polar ships an update every 9 months, Devolver Tumble Time fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 9, 2026 and October 16, 2026 respectively.
