Verdict
Balls Go and Castle Raid! both sit at 4.5 stars, but that hides the real split: 63% of Balls Go's written reviews are positive against 26% of Castle Raid!'s. Balls Go also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 15.0). Castle Raid!'s advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 5 months) and ratings volume (80K vs 33). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
