Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Zipline Splash at 5.0 against Tower Archer's 4.5. Zipline Splash also leads on update cadence (every 3 days vs every 3 weeks). Tower Archer's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (3K vs 1). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
