Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Cyberspace Hacker at none against Arcade95's shown. Cyberspace Hacker also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.5) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 26.0). Arcade95's advantage is ratings volume (23 vs 1) and update cadence (every 4 days vs every 9 days). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
