Verdict
The clearest difference is price: O at Free against Super Hexagon's $2.99. O also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 3 weeks). Super Hexagon's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ads (none vs shown). On rating, review sentiment and device support there is nothing between them.
