Test your dexterity! Dactyl is an addictive, fast-paced exercise for your fingers. The premise of the game is simple--defuse the bombs before they blow up. Clear your mind and put your fingers to work... Note: Dactyl 2's first level is approximately the same thing as this app. (There is no penalty in Dactyl 2, however, for stray touches.) To get a feel on where you rank in the world, consult Dactyl 2's leader board for that level. Also available: * Dactyl 2 * Dactyl School

The clearest difference is ads: Dactyl at none against Cowboy Hunt!'s shown. Dactyl also leads on iOS requirement (8.0 vs 12.0). Cowboy Hunt!'s advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 9 months). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
