Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: AirAttack 2 at 88% against WORMS's 38%. AirAttack 2 also leads on price (Free vs $1.99) and rating (4.8 vs 3.1). WORMS's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 9 months). On in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
