Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Vay at none against Last Colossus's 5. Vay also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 6 months) and chart position (#169 vs unranked). Last Colossus's advantage is price ($1.99 vs $5.99) and rating (4.2 vs 4.0). On review sentiment, ratings volume, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
