It places an effortless punch right on the button that delivers a knockout." - The Zarf "This is the type of game you'd expect to play on a watch. Once you start playing - oh my gosh - it's like wait, they're attacking me! I'm not just swiping. It's not passive. These guys are moving trying to eliminate me.

Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Shproty Pro at 100% against Tiny Armies's 55%. Shproty Pro also leads on rating (4.8 vs 4.3) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 16.0). Tiny Armies's advantage is ratings volume (310 vs 6) and update cadence (monthly vs every 3 months). On ads, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
