Verdict
Windosill and The Tiny Bang Story both sit at 4.7 stars, but that hides the real split: 90% of Windosill's written reviews are positive against 63% of The Tiny Bang Story's. Windosill also leads on update cadence (every 2 months vs every 8 months). The Tiny Bang Story's advantage is ratings volume (898 vs 66) and price ($0.99 vs $3.99).
