Loot Blast
Read full descriptionHide full description
Oh no, pesky goblins are trying to steal loot from your dungeon! Place slime blocks on top of them and form a complete horizontal or vertical line to remove them for good. If you get stuck, use the special bombs to make more space by clearing a horizontal or vertical line, or a small area of the dungeon of slime blocks.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Loot Blast at none against ASTRO's 1. Loot Blast also leads on update cadence (daily vs every 4 days) and device support (3 vs 1). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
