Escape the rising lava of a dangerous volcano before it's too late! Your character walks automatically; you can tap the screen to jump. If you tap while against a wall, your character will also change direction by performing a wall jump. Find the best route up through the six unique zones using these simple controls while racing against the volcano’s lava. But watch out, if you get hit by a spike or fall in lava, you’ll have to restart from the bottom! The six areas: Rock Bottom - Intro Pink Passage - Bouncy Pads Blue Mine - Ice Blocks Green Factory - Fading Platforms Yellow Elevator - Two Updrafts Orange Opening - Low Lighting Each area has one coin to collect. Some are one jump away, but others are on extra paths entirely! To save each coin, you must bring it all the way back to the surface in one go!

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: ShuttleBattle at none against VolcanUp's shown. ShuttleBattle also leads on monetization model (free vs ad-supported) and review sentiment (100% vs 90%). VolcanUp's advantage is update cadence (every 5 days vs every 36 months). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
