Verdict
The clearest difference is price: StormFire at Free against Pixel Heroes's $0.99. StormFire also leads on update cadence (every 10 days vs every 6 months). Pixel Heroes's advantage is rating (4.4 vs 2.6) and in-app purchases (none vs 10). On monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
