ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Spire Blast holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Spire Blast has 17K ratings behind it against 240, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 68% of Cut the Rope 3's written reviews are positive against 53% of Spire Blast's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Cut the Rope 3 ships an update every 5 weeks, Spire Blast monthly. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and November 9, 2026 respectively.
