Noomiclone Releases Overview
Noomiclone is a lightweight arcade game for Android developed by NoomiClone Dev. Since its earliest tracked public build in mid-2022, the project has followed a steady but irregular release cadence, shipping roughly one to three builds per year. The current flagship release, version 1.8.1, was published on January 31, 2025, and remains the latest version available on Uptodown as of September 2026.
Uptodown maintains the most complete public archive of Noomiclone builds, including older APK versions. Check the official NoomiClone page on Uptodown whenever you want to verify whether a new version has dropped.

Full Version Timeline
Every archived Noomiclone release, from oldest to newest. Note that some version numbers were re-published with fixes, which is why 1.7.4 appears twice with different dates.
| Version | Date | File Type | Min Android | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1.6.1 | Aug 10, 2022 | APK | 5.1 | Earliest archived release |
| 1.7 | Sep 19, 2026* | APK | 5.1 | Listed in archive timeline |
| 1.7.2 | Jan 29, 2024 | APK | 5.1 | Stability-focused patch |
| 1.7.3 | Apr 28, 2023 | APK | 5.1 | Mid-cycle refinement |
| 1.7.4 | Nov 1, 2023 | APK | 5.1 | First 1.7.4 build |
| 1.7.4 | Nov 15, 2023 | APK | 5.1 | Republished hotfix |
| 1.8.1 | Jan 31, 2025 | XAPK | 5.1 | Current latest release |
The Uptodown archive lists one build (1.7) with a 2026 date while later-numbered versions carry 2023–2024 dates. This is likely an archive metadata error rather than the true release order. Treat the version numbers as the reliable ordering signal.
Looking at the cadence, the gap between 1.6.1 (August 2022) and the 1.7.x series shows an active 2023, with three separate publications in that year alone. After the dual 1.7.4 publications in November 2023, development paused before the jump to 1.8.1 in January 2025 — the longest quiet stretch in the project's history.
What Each Release Generation Offers
1.6.x Era (2022)
- Foundation builds
- Core arcade gameplay loop
- APK-only distribution
- Established Android 5.1 baseline
1.7.x Era (2023–2024)
- Rapid iteration phase
- Four archived publications
- Hotfix republishing (1.7.4 twice)
- Steady stability improvements
1.8.x Era (2025)
- Current generation
- Switch to XAPK packaging
- Latest security certificate
- Active user reviews (5.0 rating)
Starting with 1.8.1, Noomiclone ships as an XAPK, a bundled package that can include split APKs and additional data in one file. You cannot install an XAPK with the standard Android installer — you need an installer app or Uptodown's own app to handle it.
The community reception on the current build is small but positive: the listing shows five user reviews averaging a 5.0 rating, with recent comments still appearing as of 2026 — a sign that the player base, while modest, remains engaged with the 1.8.1 release.
How to Install the Latest Release
Follow this process to get the current Noomiclone build running on your device:
Check Your Android Version
Open Settings, then About Phone. Noomiclone requires Android 5.1 or higher. Anything below that will not run any archived release.
Download from a Trusted Source
Get the 1.8.1 XAPK from the official Uptodown listing. Uptodown runs antivirus scans on hosted files and publishes the certificate signature (70bdb51f526142b15ef84e9f50472e57) for verification.
Enable App Installs
Allow installation from your browser or file manager in Settings > Security. This is required because Noomiclone is not distributed through mainstream app stores.
Install the XAPK
Because 1.8.1 uses XAPK packaging, install it via Uptodown's installer app or a compatible XAPK installer rather than tapping the file directly.
Review Permissions
The app requests 16 permissions. Review them during install and decline anything you are not comfortable granting for an arcade title.
Rolling back to an older APK (such as 1.7.4) requires uninstalling 1.8.1 first, and any local progress may be lost. There is no official changelog confirming what changed between builds, so test cautiously.
Release Tracking Checklist
Use this checklist to stay on top of future Noomiclone releases:
Release Watchlist Tasks:
- Bookmark the official Uptodown NoomiClone page
- Verify the certificate signature before each install
- Confirm Android 5.1+ compatibility after system updates
- Back up progress before switching versions
- Check user comments for post-update issue reports
The current release's certificate signature is 70bdb51f526142b15ef84e9f50472e57. If a downloaded file's signature does not match, discard it — it did not come from the original developer.

Q: Why did the project have a long gap between 1.7.4 and 1.8.1?
No official changelog explains the gap between November 2023 and January 2025. The developer, NoomiClone Dev, has not published detailed release notes for any build, so timeline gaps can only be observed, not explained.
