Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Deadlock Highway at Free against Doodle Army's $1.99. Deadlock Highway also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.5) and update cadence (every 2 days vs monthly). Doodle Army's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ads (none vs shown). On device support there is nothing between them.
