Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: GameStart Pixel Battle at none against Tallowmere 2's 1. GameStart Pixel Battle also leads on iOS requirement (8.0 vs 15.0). Tallowmere 2's advantage is rating (4.7 vs 4.4) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 6 weeks). On price, review sentiment, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
