Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Rooftop Ninja Run at none against Breakout Ninja's 2. Rooftop Ninja Run also leads on rating (4.8 vs 4.6). Breakout Ninja's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 13 months). On price, ratings volume and device support there is nothing between them.
