Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Mr Jump at 4.4 against Nova Smash's 4.0. Mr Jump also leads on ratings volume (4.2K vs 4). Nova Smash's advantage is monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and update cadence (every 3 days vs every 10 days). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
