Ninja Shaw
Read full descriptionHide full description
This is a retro 2D platformer game with ninja. Run, Jump and Shot, that's it! *** How to play it *** The left pad is like cross key for a game pad, but it only works Left or Right. The character named Shaw can move by your control. The bottom right button is Jump, and you can control his height. A long push means higher, and the short push means lower. Also if you tap everywhere on the display except buttons then he will throw a ninja star. The top left bar is his life, so you have to dodge enemies attack and bullets if possible. *** Caution *** This game is EXTREMELY HARD to clear! Can you do it?! I hope you enjoy it!

Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Platformless at Free against Ninja Shaw's $0.99. Platformless also leads on update cadence (every 2 months vs every 11 months). Ninja Shaw's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 9) and ads (none vs shown). On device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
