Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Space Rocket Exploration at none against Hurricane.io's 17. Space Rocket Exploration also leads on review sentiment (69% vs 49%) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). Hurricane.io's advantage is ratings volume (1.3K vs 313). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.
