Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Tiny Terraces at none against PixelRun's 6. Tiny Terraces also leads on chart position (#11 vs unranked). PixelRun's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 65%) and update cadence (daily vs every 8 days). On ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
