Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: PapiWall at none against Smash Dude's 8. PapiWall also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (6.0 vs 15.0). Smash Dude's advantage is ratings volume (11K vs 15) and update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 7 months). On price, rating, review sentiment and device support there is nothing between them.
