The world has gone wild—but one dog hasn’t. Elska is a fast-paced, top-down cartoon shooter where you play as a brave, loyal dog named Elska, the only survivor of a mysterious lab explosion that turned all animals into bloodthirsty zombies. With nothing left but instinct, grit, and an experimental power pulsing through her veins, Elska takes the fight to the infected in a desperate mission to save the world. After the accident that unleashed Promethium Kyanite—a powerful energy source gone wrong—the animals Elska once called friends have mutated into savage creatures. Rats, cats, wolves, raccoons, and foxes... now roam the ruins of the lab and beyond, attacking anything in sight. But Elska isn’t running away. She’s loading up. Armed with unique weapons, unlockable abilities, and canine determination, you’ll face round-based zombie waves across 2 DIFFERENT maps, each more intense than the last. In game there are different classes to chose from. Each class has a different bundle of abilities. You can customize your dog and try different accessories with different effects.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Elska at 5.0 against Growtopia's 3.8. Elska also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 24) and ads (none vs shown). Growtopia's advantage is ratings volume (11K vs 1) and chart position (#98 vs unranked). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
