The sequel to my 'yellow' and 'red' games is here! Can you make the screen black in 50 levels? Each level has its own logic. Do you need help? Use the light bulb button that will appear after a while in the top right of each level to get a hint. There are multiple hints for each level. With the in-app purchase you will not get ads before the hints. This is the third game in my color puzzle series. There are already 7 color games each with 50 new levels. Enjoy! @BartBonte

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Beat Bloxx at none against black (game)'s 1. black (game)'s advantage is update cadence (every 3 months vs every 55 months) and rating (4.8 vs 4.4). On price, review sentiment, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. black (game) sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Beat Bloxx asks for nothing beyond the download.
black (game) holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: black (game) has 548 ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Beat Bloxx's written reviews are positive against 95% of black (game)'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Beat Bloxx ships an update every 55 months, black (game) every 3 months. Both last shipped on October 23, 2026.
