◉ Featured by Apple as a Best New Game ◉ ◉ Featured as a game to play 'While You Wait' ◉ It is said that no one has ever destroyed more than 500 enemies during an attack. Will you be the first one? An alien enemy has just launched a massive attack on Earth targeting major cities and landmarks around the world. You are the commander of Earths ballistic missile defensive units. Your mission is to go ballistic destroying the black and white enemy using state of the art ballistic missiles. To destroy the black enemy, tap the black button. To destroy the white enemy, tap the white button. WARNING: The enemy grows bigger every time you shoot it with the wrong coloured missile. You'll need to shoot it with the correct coloured missile to reduce it to original size for it to be destroyed. During an attack, the enemy will increase in speed. VERY IMPORTANT: If all hope is lost, you can tap the missile launcher to fire the 'ultimate' ballistic missile. This destroys all visible enemies in one go giving you time to recover. This can only be done once per attack so use sparingly. As a sign of skill, depending on the number of enemies destroyed, you'll be able to select different missile launchers. Go ballistic and victory can be yours. FEATURES: ◉ Fast and furious gameplay (enemies speed up) ◉ 13 different enemy types to destroy (if good enough) ◉ 3 game modes ◉ Multiple backgrounds / themes ◉ In-game achievements ◉ Game Centre leaderboard ◉ Pumping energetic soundtracks ◉ Awesome missile and explosion sounds ◉ Unlock missile launchers as a sign of skill and rank ◉ Single in app purchase to unlock every missile launcher and remove ads. ◉ Free to play

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Go Ballistic at none against Cave FRVR's shown. Go Ballistic also leads on review sentiment (79% vs 53%) and iOS requirement (6.0 vs 12.0). Cave FRVR's advantage is ratings volume (238 vs 5) and rating (4.5 vs 4.2). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Go Ballistic sells 6 one-off in-app purchases and Cave FRVR sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Cave FRVR holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Cave FRVR has 238 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 79% of Go Ballistic's written reviews are positive against 53% of Cave FRVR's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Go Ballistic ships an update every 4 months, Cave FRVR every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 19, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
