Critical reception

Finger Physics

CommonSenseMedia gave it 5/5 stars, writing "Finger Physics is an incredibly well made game app. Whether you're holding your breath, carefully stacking different shaped blocks, or knocking obstacles out of the way to guide a big block down to the screen's bottom, you're both exercising your knowledge of the laws of physics and having a heck of a lot of fun at the same time. New puzzles and levels are available to download in the future, giving Finger Physics the chance to be a very long-lived app on your iPhone."^[1] AppSpy gave it 4.5, concluding "You know a game is great when it offers the same four or five game modes but doesn’t feel repetitive in the slightest. Finger Physics is one of those games."^[2]

AppAdvice wrote "Finger physics is a well done game, and if it wasn’t for Topple 2 it would be a should buy, and the ratings indicate that. For $0.99 Finger Physics is worth considering depending on whether you have Topple 2 or not. Also if you don’t have Topple 2, it’s free so get downloading."^[3] SlideToPlay gave it 3 out of 4, commenting "We weren't knocked out by its charm, but Finger Physics doesn't skimp on the puzzles."^[4]

148Apps gave it 4.5 starts, writing "Finger Physics does its best to pull you in and keep you going by offering a variety of game modes, some of which have a pretty unique slant, and it does so at a very modest price. Anyone who is a fan of the physics puzzle genre will get a good amount of challenge and enjoyment out of the game, and may just find that the urge to get a gold star on every level can be quite irresistible.^[5] PocketGamer rated it 8/10, concluding "Though lacking an energetic personality, new elements make this physics gaming compound fresh and fun to play".^[6]

Finger Physics: Thumb Wars

The game has a Metacritic rating of 69% based on 5 critic reviews.^[7]

AppSpy wrote "Finger Physics: Thumb Wars picks up the pieces where Finger Fun left off and manages to improve on an already solid physics puzzler".^[8] Slide To Play said "This sequel-of-sorts to the popular compilation of physics games offers less variety, but an awesome leaderboard concept that makes it worth playing."^[9] 148Apps wrote "Finger Physics: Thumb Wars does a good job at differentiating itself and adding the novel country competition mechanic, but the monotonous gameplay and frustrating menu layouts drag the game down."^[10] Pocket Gamer UK said "A novel combination of physics gameplay and creative online scoring, Finger Physics: Thumb Wars could stand for more polished level design."^[11] No DPad wrote "I liked the first one and was looking for some improvement in terms of replay value, but I didn't exactly get it."^[12]
