Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Lunar Rescue at Free against Dragon Panic's $0.99. Lunar Rescue also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.2). Dragon Panic's advantage is ratings volume (24 vs 1) and iOS requirement (13.6 vs 15.1). On update cadence, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
