Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Powder Game at 4.5 against Physics 2d's 4.0. Powder Game also leads on review sentiment (85% vs 50%) and update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 13 months). Physics 2d's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
