Merge Snake!! holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Snake.io+ has 36K ratings behind it against 881, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 42% of Merge Snake!!'s written reviews are positive against 90% of Snake.io+'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
