Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Amazing Thief at Free against Backflip Madness's $0.99. Amazing Thief also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.6). Backflip Madness's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ads (none vs shown). On update cadence and device support there is nothing between them.
