When they took tennis lessons back in the 90s they spent most of their time hiding behind the ball machine. They--along with a small but amazing team of artists, musicians, and thinkers--have been creating games since 2015. (c) Create Neptune LLC 2020

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Spaceball at none against Paddle Clash's shown. Spaceball also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 65%) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). Paddle Clash's advantage is ratings volume (329 vs 8) and update cadence (every 4 days vs every 2 weeks). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
