Read full description

Fruit Jump - Jetpack is an action game where you tilt your phone to guide a jetpack jumper upward through the sky, using fruit and trampolines. Collect fruit to raise your score and build combos. Land on trampolines to launch even higher. Use special items such as Stars, Flags, and Bombs for chances to boost your score all at once. Avoid enemies including sparrows, eagles, meteors, and UFOs as you aim for the highest score possible in 90 seconds. The app is free to play. The in-app purchase “Unlimited Unlock” removes the 90-second time limit.

Pinball HD Collection's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.6). On price and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
