The clearest difference is price: Devolver Tumble Time at Free against Treasure Buster's $0.99. Devolver Tumble Time also leads on rating (4.7 vs 4.4) and ratings volume (920 vs 64). Treasure Buster's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 18) and ads (none vs shown). On device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Devolver Tumble Time holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Devolver Tumble Time has 920 ratings behind it against 64, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 74% of Treasure Buster's written reviews are positive against 56% of Devolver Tumble Time's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
