"Freezes Time When You Stop Moving" You can control the speed of time with only one finger! Move slowly, and time slows down. Move quickly, and it speeds up. But the looming darkness behind you never stops. You must keep going — sometimes with calm precision, sometimes with bold aggression. Time Locker is a minimalist shooter. Many foes will attack you, including animals, mammoths, soldiers, and even a giant T-Rex. Control the speed of time and enhance your character and equipment without limit to get a high score. - Runner-Up : App Store(JP) Best of 2016 - Grand prize : Indie Stream Award 2016 - 5STAR : Touch Arcade

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Blitz at none against TIME LOCKER's shown. Blitz also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). TIME LOCKER's advantage is iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
