Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Hyperburner at 4.5 against Repulze's 4.0. Hyperburner also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 10) and ratings volume (822 vs 23). Repulze's advantage is update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 55 months) and price ($0.99 vs $2.99). On ads, chart position and device support there is nothing between them.
