Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Blobby's Quest at none against Shadow Trick's 1. Blobby's Quest also leads on rating (4.3 vs 4.0). Shadow Trick's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). On price, review sentiment, ratings volume and device support there is nothing between them.

Blobby's Quest holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 4.0. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 22 and 32 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 65% of Blobby's Quest's written reviews are positive against 70% of Shadow Trick's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
