Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Alien at Free against Pang Adventures's $3.99. Alien also leads on rating (4.5 vs 3.8) and review sentiment (80% vs 39%). Pang Adventures's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 16.5). On ads, chart position and device support there is nothing between them.
