Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Blue Attack! at 4.8 against Stranger Cubes's 2.0. Blue Attack! also leads on update cadence (every 4 months vs every 35 months) and ratings volume (11 vs 1). Stranger Cubes's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.0). On price, ads, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
