How to play: Tap the screen every time you want to turn 90 degrees. If you hit a wall the game resets. Each time you pass the finish line you get 1 point. Every 5 laps the direction changes. This is a fun challenging game where you find yourself respawning again and again. The track changes during the game. The track can change height, width, rotation and run direction - So this game should challenge your timing and your ability to adjust. Every time you tap the screen you turn 90 degrees but if your timing isn’t right you’ll hit a wall and the game resets. Every 5th lap you will change direction along with the speed continuously increasing. You will find yourself crashing over and over again while slowly improving your reflexes and skills. How many laps can you run without hitting a wall? And most importantly... can you beat your best friend’s highscore? 5/5 Stars “Such a smooth experience <3" 5/5 Stars "Flappy Bird 2 - JUST BETTER!"

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Laps! at none against Cylinders's shown. Laps! also leads on rating (4.4 vs 4.2) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). Cylinders's advantage is update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 11 months) and ratings volume (1.3K vs 104). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Laps! holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Cylinders has 1.3K ratings behind it against 104, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 57% of Laps!'s written reviews are positive against 58% of Cylinders's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Laps! ships an update every 11 months, Cylinders every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 17, 2026 and September 16, 2026 respectively.
