Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Critter Panic! at none against Lost Journey's 4. Critter Panic! also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 3 months vs every 65 months). Lost Journey's advantage is ratings volume (24 vs 3). On price, rating and device support there is nothing between them.

Critter Panic! costs $1.99 and Lost Journey $1.99 up front. Lost Journey sells 4 one-off in-app purchases. Critter Panic! asks for nothing beyond the download.
Lost Journey holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Lost Journey has 24 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 95% of Critter Panic!'s written reviews are positive against 67% of Lost Journey's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Critter Panic! ships an update every 3 months, Lost Journey every 65 months. The most recent releases landed on October 22, 2026 and October 21, 2026 respectively.
