Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: AstroRaiders at none against Sling Drift's shown. AstroRaiders also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.5). Sling Drift's advantage is ratings volume (287K vs 1) and chart position (#104 vs unranked). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
