# Pixel Blast Jam vs Sand Out!

Pixel Blast Jam and Sand Out! both sit at 4.6 stars, but that hides the real split: 33% of Pixel Blast Jam's written reviews are positive against 21% of Sand Out!'s. Sand Out!'s advantage is ratings volume (1.6K vs 178) and update cadence (weekly vs fortnightly). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
