Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Skiing Fred at 4.7 against Nova Smash's 4.0. Skiing Fred also leads on ratings volume (701 vs 4). Nova Smash's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs every 3 months) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
