Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Castlevania at 3.9 against WORMS's 3.1. Castlevania also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 2) and ratings volume (1.8K vs 86). WORMS's advantage is update cadence (every 2 months vs every 29 months) and price ($1.99 vs $2.99). On ads, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
