Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Powder Game at none against Pixel Creator's 1. Powder Game also leads on device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.0). Pixel Creator's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 days vs every 6 weeks). On price there is nothing between them.
