Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Really Simple Arcade at none against First Person Hooper's shown. Really Simple Arcade also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs every 3 weeks) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). First Person Hooper's advantage is ratings volume (1.9K vs 3) and monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs paid). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
