Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: ZUBAAA! at none against LUMINES REMASTERED's 2. ZUBAAA! also leads on update cadence (every 5 days vs every 2 weeks). LUMINES REMASTERED's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 26.0). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
