Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Sideways Drift at none against MudRunner Mobile's 10. Sideways Drift also leads on review sentiment (91% vs 65%) and update cadence (every 9 days vs every 5 weeks). MudRunner Mobile's advantage is ratings volume (3.1K vs 12). On ads, chart position and device support there is nothing between them.
