Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: MERGE LAB at 4.8 against Falling Escape's 2.7. MERGE LAB also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (10 vs 3). Falling Escape's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 12) and iOS requirement (7.0 vs 12.0). On price, review sentiment, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
