Bully Ball

Let's hunt the bully balls. The bullets you throw at the balls reduce their health. When the balls run out of life, they are split into two smaller balls. If the balls hit us, you start again with your skills reset. Don't let the balls hit you or you may die. If you want to win you have to destroy all the balls. It's time to show them who is better. Good luck

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Bully Ball at none against Astrocave's 1. Astrocave's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 days vs every 12 months). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
