It doesn't even ease you in, at least compared to other games.” PocketGamer 7/10 “It's a hateful experience, and you'll probably swear your entire face off while you're playing, but you'll still wrap your clammy palms around your phone and try to get to the end.” 148Apps 4/5 “You’ll keep chipping away at the stage, keen to get further and come across something even harder along the way.” TechCrunch “Gameplay is challenging without being infuriating, and rewards the kind of hardcore pattern memorization that made classic titles for Atari and NES so fun to play.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Running in Circle at none against Mr Jump's 10. Running in Circle also leads on ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (100% vs 82%). Mr Jump's advantage is update cadence (every 10 days vs every 11 months) and rating (4.4 vs 4.0). On price and 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
Both are free to download. Mr Jump sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Running in Circle asks for nothing beyond the download.
Mr Jump holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Mr Jump has 4.2K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 82% of Mr Jump's written reviews are positive against 100% of Running in Circle's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Mr Jump ships an update every 10 days, Running in Circle every 11 months. The most recent releases landed on October 30, 2026 and October 2, 2026 respectively.
