The year: 1984. The place: Brooklyn, New York Dojo Number 7. The time: of no real consequence. "Ninja Attack!" is the result of a bizarre thesis statement: If Hunter S. Thompson was head of the art department at the Sega Corporation Ltd. in the early 80s, what would the bonus round in Shinobi look like? "Ninja Attack!" features: • 30 psychedelic unlock-able skins • Augmented Reality (AR) version (play in your own backyard!) • Hundreds of in-game quests • Power up weapons including bullets and cash money (make its rain!) • Haptic feedback • Optimized for iPhone X • Leaderboards • Awesome animated iMessage Stickers • Social Sharing • Fast, smooth, easy gameplay • 3 levels of difficulty: normal, hard, and insane! • Supports 9 languages

Verdict

The call

Platform Panic's advantage is review sentiment (69% vs 47%). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.5 for Platform Panic against 4.4 for Ninja Attack!. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Ninja Attack! has 1.3K ratings behind it against 124, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 69% of Platform Panic's written reviews are positive against 47% of Ninja Attack!'s.
