Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Level3D at Free against Black Keys's $0.99. Level3D also leads on rating (5.0 vs 3.4). Black Keys's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 7 months) and ratings volume (27 vs 1). On ads, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
