# Fat Hamster vs Blob Runner 3D

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Fat Hamster at 85% against Blob Runner 3D's 44%. Fat Hamster also leads on iOS requirement (10.0 vs 15.0). Blob Runner 3D's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and rating (4.6 vs 4.1). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Fat Hamster sells 5 one-off in-app purchases and Blob Runner 3D sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Blob Runner 3D holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Blob Runner 3D has 196K ratings behind it against 120, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 85% of Fat Hamster's written reviews are positive against 44% of Blob Runner 3D's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Fat Hamster ships an update every 2 months, Blob Runner 3D weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 21, 2026 and October 26, 2026 respectively.
