Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: PapiRubber at none against Flying Gorilla's 7. PapiRubber also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (6.0 vs 15.0). Flying Gorilla's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 10 months) and ratings volume (58K vs 7). On price, rating and device support there is nothing between them.
