This game is completely free - NO ADS! The carrot-loving sheep, Alpi, goes on a hike through the snow-covered village of Mallnitz in Austria. He must leap over ravines and icy streams. Local animals, such as eagles, hedgehogs, and wild chickens, threaten Alpi's well-being. This jump-and-run challenge includes 16 worlds. Once you collect all the carrots in Easy Mode, new difficulty levels are unlocked.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Alpi at none against Space Pixel Swarm's 3. Alpi also leads on ads (none vs shown) and device support (4 vs 2). On price there is nothing between them.
