Verdict

The call

Top Fish and Mining Rush both sit at 4.4 stars, but that hides the real split: 59% of Top Fish's written reviews are positive against 16% of Mining Rush's. Top Fish also leads on ads (none vs shown). Mining Rush's advantage is update cadence (every 4 days vs every 2 weeks) and ratings volume (780 vs 16). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
