Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Mars X Run at 100% against Arena Blast's 60%. Mars X Run also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.5). Arena Blast's advantage is update cadence (every 10 days vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (30 vs 4). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
