Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Magical Rays at none against TheGreatGame's 5. Magical Rays also leads on rating (4.6 vs 4.2) and review sentiment (83% vs 75%). TheGreatGame's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 8 months). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
