Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Clumsy Ninja at none against Rooftop Run's shown. Clumsy Ninja also leads on review sentiment (86% vs 69%) and ratings volume (409K vs 25K). Rooftop Run's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
