Ghost Panic
Read full descriptionHide full description
How to play: Each level has six platforms with a random assortment of ladders. You control the player who either digs holes or fills them up with his shovel. Enemies move randomly through the level and may fall into the hole. Once inside the hole, you must hit them with your shovel to knock them further down the hole. You have a limited amount of time for each level and if you lose a life, the timer doesn’t reset, but all enemies do, and it can be very frustrating if you lose a life and there are only a couple of enemies left. Luckily, you get more than enough time to complete each level. Still, it soon becomes very hard. Also there are now options available to have a rescue ladder to escape from enemies as well as to double your speed for a limited time.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: BlockBust at none against Ghost Panic's 2. BlockBust also leads on update cadence (every 6 days vs every 27 months) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
