Block Puzzle: * Challenges you to fit blocks of different shapes into a 10×10 grid. * When the horizontal and vertical directions of the chessboard are filled, the wooden blocks will be eliminated. * The more rows and columns eliminated, the higher the score obtained. * Once there is no place to place a block on the chessboard, the game ends. * No time limit. * The game will be over if there is no space for any of the given blocks below the board. Falling Block: * You can move the blocks around, either left to right and/or you can rotate them * The blocks fall at a certain rate control them with Levels * Your objective is to get all the blocks to fill all the empty space in a line at the bottom of the screen * Whenever you do this, you’ll find that the blocks vanish and you get awarded 10 points

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Block Puzzle at none against Block Surfer's 1. Block Surfer's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
