Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Pixel Jam 3D at none against Tetris®'s shown. Pixel Jam 3D also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs fortnightly). Tetris®'s advantage is chart position (#136 vs unranked). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
