Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Polygon Wars at Free against Blast Rush's $2.99. Polygon Wars also leads on update cadence (every 10 days vs every 2 months). Blast Rush's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.8) and ratings volume (63 vs 9). On review sentiment, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
