Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Blocky Raider at none against Machinal Instinct's shown. Blocky Raider also leads on review sentiment (76% vs 51%) and iOS requirement (7.0 vs 12.0). Machinal Instinct's advantage is rating (4.6 vs 4.2). On price, ratings volume, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Blocky Raider sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Machinal Instinct sells 9 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Machinal Instinct holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.2. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 367 and 707 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 76% of Blocky Raider's written reviews are positive against 51% of Machinal Instinct's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 21, 2026 and October 22, 2026 respectively.
