Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Rain City at 4.0 against Hindsight Game's 3.6. Rain City also leads on update cadence (every 9 days vs every 2 months) and price ($1.99 vs $4.99). Hindsight Game's advantage is review sentiment (70% vs 51%) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.6). On ads, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
