Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Squirrel Surge at none against Bubble Shooter's 4. Squirrel Surge also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). Bubble Shooter's advantage is update cadence (every 5 months vs every 18 months) and ratings volume (21 vs 2). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
