Gatecrasher is a game. As a player of this game you will control a ship. You will have two buttons; one button to rotate your ship clockwise, and another to rotate your ship the direction that isn't clockwise. You must navigate your ship through gates, without crashing into them. I realise while writing this that the name of the game may be misleading, as the objective of the game is to not crash into the gates. I apologise for this, and those responsible have been fired.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Gatecrasher at none against Rush's 2. Gatecrasher also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 13.0). Rush's advantage is update cadence (monthly vs every 5 months) and ratings volume (52K vs 498). On price, rating, review sentiment and device support there is nothing between them.
