Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Chroma Rush at none against Tetris®'s 10. Chroma Rush also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 5 days vs every 2 weeks). Tetris®'s advantage is chart position (#137 vs unranked). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
