Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Vector Ball 3D at none against TENKYU's 1. Vector Ball 3D also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (5.1.1 vs 13.0). TENKYU's advantage is ratings volume (255K vs 18) and rating (4.6 vs 4.3). On price, review sentiment and device support there is nothing between them.
