Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: BrollyBear at none against Smashy City's 10. BrollyBear also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). Smashy City's advantage is ratings volume (15K vs 3). On price, update cadence, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
