Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Canvas Run at 4.5 against Slipping Penguin's 3.3. Canvas Run also leads on ratings volume (35K vs 6). Slipping Penguin's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ads (none vs shown). On price, review sentiment and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Canvas Run sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Slipping Penguin asks for nothing beyond the download.
Canvas Run holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Canvas Run has 35K ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 33% of Slipping Penguin's written reviews are positive against 29% of Canvas Run's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
