Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Ascendling at 100% against Level Maker's 54%. Ascendling also leads on rating (5.0 vs 3.6) and in-app purchases (none vs 3). Level Maker's advantage is ratings volume (90 vs 1) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
