Launch from Scratch, HTML/CSS, Python, and JavaScript, then fight across 13 programming-language-themed campaign stages. Each stage brings new enemies and a boss; every close dodge is a chance to build more firepower. Build your loadout with: - printf() fire, fork() twin shots, and spread() bursts - Piercing lasers, GOTO missile salvos, drone cores, and plasma rings - The rm -rf screen-clearing bomb when the pattern closes in Choose your challenge: - Campaign: follow the language map and defeat each boss - Hell: unlock it by clearing the Normal campaign; its progress is separate and its pressure is higher - Legendary: 6 one-life stages inspired by classic languages - Endless: test your survival as the waves keep escalating Play the first 4 campaign stages free and experience the complete core loop.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Block Blast at none against Bug Strike's 1. Block Blast also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.6). Bug Strike's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price, update cadence and device support there is nothing between them.
