Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Alchemy at Free against Doodle Tanks™'s $0.99. Alchemy also leads on update cadence (every 3 days vs every 21 months) and rating (5.0 vs 4.6). Doodle Tanks™'s advantage is ratings volume (13 vs 1). On ads, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
