The clearest difference is rating: Flashback Mobile at 4.5 against Castlevania's 3.9. Flashback Mobile also leads on price ($1.99 vs $2.99). Castlevania's advantage is ratings volume (1.8K vs 117) and chart position (#13 vs unranked). On review sentiment, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Castlevania costs $2.99 and Flashback Mobile $1.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
