Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Blocky Hockey at Free against Ice Rage's $1.99. Blocky Hockey also leads on rating (4.3 vs 4.0) and ratings volume (918 vs 134). Ice Rage's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (monthly vs every 5 months). On in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Blocky Hockey holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Blocky Hockey has 918 ratings behind it against 134, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 72% of Ice Rage's written reviews are positive against 62% of Blocky Hockey's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Ice Rage ships an update monthly, Blocky Hockey every 5 months. The most recent releases landed on October 26, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
