Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Blast Games at none against Bubble Explode's shown. Blast Games also leads on iOS requirement (12.4 vs 15.0). Bubble Explode's advantage is ratings volume (19K vs 221) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 5 months). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
