Brushing Teeth becomes an entertainment This game makes children enjoy brushing teeth. Once you hold a toothbrush and face the camera, you will be transformed into a hero with iron war helmet on. You can attack the monsters by brushing your teeth. Aiming to let children get into the habit of brushing their teeth neatly, we made this app to level up the attack power as you brush your teeth from various angles. Makes you want to try over and over After playing the game, you will get "hero cards" depending on how many coins you acquired, and can level up your attack power. You will be able to beat more monsters. This app supports your mind to brush your teeth proactively by a simple rule that the more you play, the stronger you will be, and go to the next stage. If you beat dragons that appear every 30 stages, you'll get a new gorgeous hero helmet!

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Starlyra at none against Brushing Hero's 1. Starlyra also leads on update cadence (daily vs every 3 months). Brushing Hero's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and device support (3 vs 1). On price there is nothing between them.
