Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Lava Llama at none against Capybara Rush's 6. Lava Llama also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (9.0.0 vs 12.0). Capybara Rush's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 3 months) and ratings volume (2.8K vs 20). On price, review sentiment and device support there is nothing between them.
