Simple controls: adjust the joystick size and side to fit exactly how you hold your phone. No ads. No in-app purchases. Just you, the fall, and how far you can go. - Fast to learn, brutal to master - 5 worlds, 50 levels, 12 obstacle types - Customizable controls - Clean, distraction-free design

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Downrush at none against Candy Runner's shown. Downrush also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 5 months). Candy Runner's advantage is iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
