HINTS! - To "die by helicopter" it's best to get a ways into the game until you see the helicopters appear lower above buildings or in between buildings. They're easier to splat yourself on then. - To jump in the last 0.5m of a building, pick a building with a border on the roof and use that as a rough guide for when to jump.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Rush City at none against Hoppy Frog's shown. Rush City also leads on update cadence (every 2 months vs every 18 months) and iOS requirement (4.3 vs 13.0). Hoppy Frog's advantage is ratings volume (7.3K vs 323) and rating (4.6 vs 4.4). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
