Arial Attack and Play Colors both sit at 4.6 stars, but that hides the real split: 75% of Arial Attack's written reviews are positive against 16% of Play Colors's. Arial Attack also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 3) and ads (none vs shown). Play Colors's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 5 months) and ratings volume (7.7K vs 17).
