Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Hammer Squad at none against Arrow Fest's 3. Hammer Squad also leads on rating (4.7 vs 4.3) and review sentiment (25% vs 12%). Arrow Fest's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (107K vs 1.9K). On price, update cadence and device support there is nothing between them.
