Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Tetravex at none against AuroraBound's 7. Tetravex also leads on ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (100% vs 84%). AuroraBound's advantage is ratings volume (610 vs 6) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 7 months). On price, rating and device support there is nothing between them.
