# Star Blast vs Multiplayer Fun

Star Blast and Multiplayer Fun both sit at 4.5 stars, but that hides the real split: 76% of Star Blast's written reviews are positive against 17% of Multiplayer Fun's. Star Blast also leads on update cadence (every 9 days vs every 4 months) and ratings volume (558 vs 30). Multiplayer Fun's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 16) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.6). On price, rating, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Star Blast sells 11 one-off in-app purchases. Multiplayer Fun asks for nothing beyond the download.

Multiplayer Fun holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Star Blast has 558 ratings behind it against 30, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 76% of Star Blast's written reviews are positive against 17% of Multiplayer Fun's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Star Blast ships an update every 9 days, Multiplayer Fun every 4 months. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
