Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Shooty Skies at 4.6 against Happy Fall's 4.1. Shooty Skies also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 3 months) and ratings volume (5.6K vs 126). Happy Fall's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 15.0). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
