Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Wrist Attack at 100% against Asteroid Commando's 38%. Wrist Attack also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.0) and price ($0.99 vs $1.99). Asteroid Commando's advantage is ratings volume (134 vs 1) and update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 6 months). On ads, in-app purchases, monetization model and chart position there is nothing between them.
