Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Ice Runner at none against Galaxy Attack's 16. Ice Runner also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (daily vs every 3 days). Galaxy Attack's advantage is ratings volume (656K vs 2) and chart position (#65 vs unranked). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
