PALINGENESIS is a music video game. The album by GRIGS unfolds as a series of interactive animated worlds, with each environment built around a different song. Created entirely by animator and musician John Paul Grigsby, PALINGENESIS brings together hand-crafted animation, interactive environments, and visual sequences that appear as you move through each world. As you progress through the album, a larger story begins to take shape through the environments and the moments you come across along the way.

Verdict
The clearest difference is price: PALINGENESIS at Free against Warbits's $0.99. PALINGENESIS also leads on update cadence (every 9 days vs every 3 months) and rating (4.9 vs 4.7). Warbits's advantage is ratings volume (643 vs 11) and iOS requirement (6.0 vs 15.0). On ads, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
