Blast Beats is an Insane 1-Tap Rhythm Game with a Power Packed Soundtrack & Retro Pixel Art Aesthetic. How to Play Insert a coin into that tiny pocket on your jeans. Why do they have those little tiny jean pockets? It’s not like you can fit anything useful in there. Actually that’s not true, it is great for holding guitar picks. Then, tap when a note is in the target, and that is how you play the game. Features • 15 Heart Pumping Tracks • 70 Unlockable Friends 4 Life! • 1 Video Dev Series “Let’s Make an Insane Rhythm Game” • Several Ads! I guess that’s not really a feature so much… It’s as easy as taking candy from a baby. But really who gives a baby candy, and why are you even thinking of stealing it? You animal! Are you really going to be able to enjoy the taste over that child’s cries? I doubt it, but you can enjoy this game through the tears of joy that’ll be streaming down your face. It’s okay big fella. Let it all out. Thanks for playing! Nick Moby Pixel

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Blast Beats at 100% against Jelly Dance's 27%. Blast Beats also leads on rating (5.0 vs 3.5) and monetization model (ad-supported vs free with in-app purchases). Jelly Dance's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 3 days vs every 27 months). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
