The clearest difference is in-app purchases: YAMADA Otoshi at none against Tornado.io!'s 10. YAMADA Otoshi also leads on review sentiment (77% vs 51%). Tornado.io!'s advantage is rating (4.7 vs 4.3) and ratings volume (98K vs 7). On price, update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Tornado.io! sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. YAMADA Otoshi asks for nothing beyond the download.

Tornado.io! holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Tornado.io! has 98K ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 51% of Tornado.io!'s written reviews are positive against 77% of YAMADA Otoshi's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
