Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Vortex Madness at none against Shape Rush's 1. Vortex Madness also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 89%). Shape Rush's advantage is rating (4.9 vs 4.6) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.4). On price, ratings volume, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Shape Rush holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.6. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 14 and 16 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Vortex Madness's written reviews are positive against 89% of Shape Rush's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
