Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Space Merge X at none against Tumble Balls's shown. Tumble Balls's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs every 3 months) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 13.0). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
