Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Manix at none against Pixel Breakers's shown. Manix also leads on monetization model (free vs ad-supported) and ratings volume (5 vs 1). Pixel Breakers's advantage is update cadence (every 14 months vs every 34 months). On price, rating, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
