Help Hazel, the bunny cross the busy highway avoiding the fast cars and trucks and cross the river by jumping on the logs and turtles to get back home safely to Clover. Catch the kisses she blows on the way for bonus points. If you can dodge the trucks and cars, avoid drowning in the river and land right next to her you get extra bonus points.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Hopper at none against Core Arcade's 4. Hopper also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (weekly vs every 3 weeks). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
