Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Tricky Pipes at none against Puffer Bounce's 1. Tricky Pipes also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.0). Puffer Bounce's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 days vs every 4 months). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
