Ward
Read full descriptionHide full description
A defense without guns. Enemies dive at your core from every direction — and you never fire a shot. Drag gravity wells to bend their paths: slingshot attackers into the sun, crush them in a well's pull, or whip them clean off the field. Live trajectory lines show where each enemy is headed — red means it is on course for your core, gold means the sun claims it. Mid-flight correctors can change course, so read the field, reposition your wells, then brace for the wave. • Pure physics combat — every takedown is environmental: sun, crush, or deflection • Draft a perk between waves: new wells, deeper gravity, drag fields, core plating, solar flares • Heavies, mid-flight correctors, and Warden bosses keep every run escalating • Doctrines — loadouts you choose before a run that shape its opening; earn Cores to unlock more • Free ranked Daily Challenge — one shared board a day, same for every player, with a global leaderboard • Free-play runs save at every wave break and whenever you pause or leave, mid-wave included: come back and pick up where you left off GO PRO The first 10 waves are free — the complete loop, every perk, and a Warden boss. Going Pro opens the endless climb past wave 10 plus Warden skins and board themes. Choose a one-time Ward unlock, or the StackForge Play Pass for Pro in every StackForge game, plus One Good Thing. Prices are shown before you buy. The Daily Challenge is always free, in full, for everyone.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Ward at none against Blocky Bloom's shown. Ward also leads on iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.0). Blocky Bloom's advantage is update cadence (every 8 days vs monthly). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
