Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Skyward Journey at none against Flat Pack's 1. Skyward Journey also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (7.0 vs 11.0). Flat Pack's advantage is ratings volume (4.4K vs 132). On price, rating, review sentiment and device support there is nothing between them.
