Both are free to download. Gravity Spikes sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Shaft Run sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Shaft Run holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Gravity Spikes has 5 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Gravity Spikes's written reviews are positive against 0% of Shaft Run's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
