Features
Read full description

The conveyor is ready, and your color carriers are on standby. Tap to send one onto the conveyor, where it releases a stream of balls onto matching-color pixel cubes. The number above each carrier shows its ammo count how many interactions it can make. When it runs out, it leaves the stage. If ammo remains, it moves into one of the five waiting slots and can be sent back to the conveyor for another round. The conveyor has limited capacity, so timing matters. Send carriers in the right order, manage the run, and gradually build progress across the board, one interaction at a time. A simple, satisfying loop: tap → run → repeat

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Pixel Away at none against Pixel Blast Jam's shown. Pixel Away also leads on update cadence (weekly vs fortnightly) and ratings volume (628 vs 178). Pixel Blast Jam's advantage is monetization model (ad-supported vs free with in-app purchases). On price, rating, review sentiment and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Pixel Away sells 14 one-off in-app purchases and Pixel Blast Jam sells 11 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Pixel Away holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 628 and 178 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 26% of Pixel Away's written reviews are positive against 33% of Pixel Blast Jam's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Pixel Away ships an update weekly, Pixel Blast Jam fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on September 23, 2026 and September 3, 2026 respectively.
