Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Solar Smash at 79% against Planet Bomber!'s 23%. Solar Smash also leads on rating (4.8 vs 4.5) and ratings volume (407K vs 44K). Planet Bomber!'s advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 4 weeks). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
