Choose the right cow from the herd and produce the items that are being requested by shaking it up and down. Different cows can produce different items. Be as fast as possible because the game ends when more than 10 item requests have queued up. While leveling up, more and more different cows and items are unlocked.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Milkshake at 5.0 against Dead Center's 3.5. Milkshake also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 62%). Dead Center's advantage is update cadence (every 4 months vs every 45 months) and ratings volume (6 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
