Mendel's Quest is the only running-jumping-punching game that has distinct Jewish motifs. Set in 19th century Russia, you play as Mendel: an Orthodox Jew with a time machine and a mission to restore as many 'holy books' as possible. Help little Mendel complete his mission. Help him. Mendel's Quest was created by four handsome jews, of whom tried their best to make this game as fun as possible. They would love to hear about any bugs or other bad experiences -- send them an email at mendelsquestgame@gmail.com, preferably before rating the game, and they'll try to make it right :) Gevalt!

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Plane Takeoff at none against Mendel's Quest's 3. Plane Takeoff also leads on update cadence (daily vs monthly) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.0). Mendel's Quest's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
