Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Super Penguins at 90% against Ice Cream Flap's 44%. Super Penguins also leads on rating (4.6 vs 4.0) and ratings volume (3.9K vs 31). Ice Cream Flap's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 13.0). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
