Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Critter Code at none against Dice Heroes's shown. Critter Code also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). Dice Heroes's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
