# Marble Runner Pyramid vs Going Balls

The clearest difference is rating: Going Balls at 4.6 against Marble Runner Pyramid's 3.1. Going Balls also leads on update cadence (every 10 days vs every 15 months) and ratings volume (421K vs 19). Marble Runner Pyramid's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (67% vs 58%). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Marble Runner Pyramid sells 4 one-off in-app purchases and Going Balls sells 21 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Going Balls holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Going Balls has 421K ratings behind it against 19, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 67% of Marble Runner Pyramid's written reviews are positive against 58% of Going Balls's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Marble Runner Pyramid ships an update every 15 months, Going Balls every 10 days. The most recent releases landed on June 9, 2026 and September 29, 2026 respectively.
