# Hovercraft vs Blocky Highway

The clearest difference is ads: Hovercraft at none against Blocky Highway's shown. Hovercraft also leads on update cadence (every 2 months vs every 14 months) and ratings volume (3.3K vs 565). On price, rating, review sentiment and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Hovercraft sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Blocky Highway sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.5 for Hovercraft against 4.6 for Blocky Highway. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Hovercraft has 3.3K ratings behind it against 565, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 80% of Hovercraft's written reviews are positive against 83% of Blocky Highway's.

Hovercraft ships an update every 2 months, Blocky Highway every 14 months. Both last shipped on November 6, 2026.
