Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Wreckfest at 4.2 against WORMS's 3.1. Wreckfest also leads on review sentiment (65% vs 38%) and update cadence (monthly vs every 2 months). WORMS's advantage is price ($1.99 vs $10.99) and iOS requirement (6.0 vs 14.0). On ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
