Look out, the castle is under attack! If only we'd built a giant hammer at the front gate. Oh wait, we did. It's HAMMER TIME! Your mission: fend off an onslaught of angry boulders with well-timed swings of your hammer. The longer you survive, the higher your score. It sounds simple, but when the action heats up and the boulders are rolling in thick and fast, one wrong swing of your hammer can mean the difference between glory and destruction. You can also unlock dozens of different hammers to help you in your quest for leaderboard domination, from the mighty Mjölnir, hammer of the Gods, to... a prosthetic leg (no it's not technically a hammer, but it gets the job done.) Take a swing at the addictive arcade action of HAMMER TIME!

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Traffic Race! at none against Hammer Time!'s 10. Hammer Time!'s advantage is update cadence (every 4 months vs every 67 months) and iOS requirement (6.0 vs 13.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
