Easter is approaching, and all eggs needs to be sorted.. However someone has planted bombs and clocks so it won't be easy! Are you up for the challenge? - Match 3 or more items to add them to the basket. - Picking up clocks will increase the speed of which items fall, however you can blow them up instead to avoid it. - Blowing up a chicken will result in a penalty of one row, so watch out if you are about to hit the roof! - Bombs will detonate randomly, and can be difficult to predict. - Mega bombs (Turquoise) will clear the whole screen when detonating. - Additional score will be awarded the longer a streak is continued. “Rated for ages 13+ by IGRS (Indonesian Games Rating System).”

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Starchess at 5.0 against EggSort's 4.2. EggSort's advantage is update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 4 months) and ratings volume (5 vs 1). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Starchess holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: EggSort has 5 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 100% and 100% positive.
