Take control of the Rocket Penguin and destroy incoming mines with your laser gun! The operation is simple - with just one touch, add rocket power to make the Rocket Penguin rise. At the same time, your laser gun will fire. When the laser hits a mine, the number on the mine decreases by one. When it reaches zero, the mine explodes. Each mine you hit adds to your score. The game ends if the Rocket Penguin hits a mine. Now, let's aim for a high score by maneuvering the Rocket Penguin!

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Rocket Penguin at none against Crystal Ball Blast's 12. Rocket Penguin also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). Crystal Ball Blast's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 11 months). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
