Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Tiny Evolution at Free against Forever Lost's $2.99. Tiny Evolution also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 3 months). Forever Lost's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.2). On in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
