Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Lava Runner Arcade at none against Shoot The Moon's 2. Lava Runner Arcade also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (4.9 vs 4.7). Shoot The Moon's advantage is ratings volume (5K vs 10) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 26.0). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
