Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Astro Party at 4.6 against Timberman's 4.0. Astro Party also leads on ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (89% vs 56%). Timberman's advantage is update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 3 months). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
