# Tricky Castle vs Block Blast！

The clearest difference is update cadence: Block Blast！ at every 3 days against Tricky Castle's every 5 weeks. Block Blast！ also leads on rating (4.9 vs 4.5) and ratings volume (2.7M vs 6.4K). Tricky Castle's advantage is iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Tricky Castle sells 4 one-off in-app purchases and Block Blast！ sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Block Blast！ holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Block Blast！ has 2.7M ratings behind it against 6.4K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 80% of Tricky Castle's written reviews are positive against 76% of Block Blast！'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Tricky Castle ships an update every 5 weeks, Block Blast！ every 3 days. The most recent releases landed on September 22, 2026 and September 27, 2026 respectively.
