HOW IT WORKS - Add any task with a due date - It appears on the game board as an invader, positioned by urgency - Do the task in real life - Come back and tap to blast it, confirm it's done, watch the explosion - Miss too many and Earth's shields go down THREAT LEVELS DISTANT - 30+ days away INCOMING - 14 to 30 days CLOSING IN - 7 to 14 days DANGER - 2 to 7 days CRITICAL - Under 2 days OVERDUE - Past due, shaking and glowing red EARN & LEVEL UP - Score points for every blast - Build streaks by staying on top of your list - Level up from Cadet to Legend - More game modes coming soon FREE TO PLAY BlastList is completely free.

TaskClimb

A to-do list that finally shows how far you have come. Every task you tick off in TaskClimb moves your climber higher up a mountain route โ until you stand on the summit of the goal you set. Plain checklists only ever show what is left. That is why long lists feel heavier the longer you work on them. TaskClimb reframes the same tasks as an ascent: a goal becomes a peak, each task becomes a waypoint on the route, and harder tasks earn more altitude. The finish line is visible from the very first step, so momentum builds instead of leaking away. WHAT YOU GET - Turn any goal or project into a peak with its own route of tasks and a clear summit - See real forward motion as your climber advances up the ridge with every task you finish - Rate each task easy, medium or hard so the tough ones actually pay off in altitude and XP - Level up a climber rank from Base Camper to Mountaineer as your XP grows - Keep a day streak alive so showing up daily becomes the habit, not the chore - Read your own numbers: 14-day activity chart, difficulty breakdown, summits reached and total elevation climbed PERFECT FOR - People who abandon task apps because a flat list never feels rewarding - Students and professionals breaking a big project into steps they can finish today - Anyone chasing a long goal โ a launch, a training block, a home reset - Habit builders who stay consistent when a streak is on the line WHY NOT JUST USE A PLAIN CHECKLIST? A checklist answers "what is left" and nothing else. TaskClimb answers "how far have I come" โ with a route you can see, altitude that reflects real effort, and stats that prove the week was not wasted. Same tasks, completely different pull. An optional daily reminder brings you back so the streak survives a busy day. PRIVACY Everything stays on your device. No account, no sign-up, no ads, no tracking.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: BlastList at none against TaskClimb's 3. BlastList also leads on iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
