Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: MadScientistWars at none against Max Slide Puzzle's shown. MadScientistWars also leads on update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 4 months). Max Slide Puzzle's advantage is iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
