The clearest difference is rating: Tank Hero at 4.7 against Backflip Madness's 4.5. Tank Hero also leads on iOS requirement (9.2 vs 15.6). Backflip Madness's advantage is ratings volume (13K vs 1.5K) and device support (4 vs 2). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Tank Hero holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5.

Written reviews complicate that: 76% of Tank Hero's written reviews are positive against 82% of Backflip Madness's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
