Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Shrimp.io at 100% against Hyper Vortex's 50%. Shrimp.io also leads on rating (4.7 vs 3.0) and update cadence (every 4 days vs every 38 months). Hyper Vortex's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
