Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Super16Bit at Free against Darkanoid's $2.99. Super16Bit also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 41 months). Darkanoid's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 71%) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 14.0). On ads, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
