Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Kushi at Free against Viper maze's $1.99. Kushi also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 1). Viper maze's advantage is update cadence (every 3 months vs every 9 months) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 26.0). On ads and device support there is nothing between them.
