HexRun

The maze won't stand still. Neither should you. HEX RUN is a retro arcade game of hexagonal mazes and shifting walls. Collect three energy cells, unlock the exit and reach the next level. Watch the warnings: get trapped in a sealed corridor and your run ends. MOVE IN SIX DIRECTIONS Keep your finger on the controller and slide between directions without lifting or tapping again. DODGE SHIFTING WALLS Orange markers announce a moving wall. Red crosses show the danger zone. You have three seconds to get clear. FIND YOUR WAY Use a scan to reveal a route to an energy cell or the exit. If you're in danger, the scan helps you escape first. Each scan costs points. BEAT YOUR RECORD Every level brings a new maze. Plan your route, use fewer steps and compare your best completed level score on Game Center. PLAY YOUR WAY Play offline, pause whenever you need to and resume your locally saved progress. Choose from fourteen languages, including English, Dutch, German and Japanese. Sound can be switched off. Game Center requires an internet connection and sign-in for online scores. You can play without Game Center. HEX RUN now supports iPad! Explore a larger playfield, play in portrait or landscape, and steer with the larger six-direction controller. The layout adapts to your screen.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: HexRun at none against BlockBuster's 4. HexRun also leads on ads (none vs shown). BlockBuster's advantage is device support (5 vs 2). On price, update cadence and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
