It's up to SPY Fox and his friends to "can" Poodles and save the planet. —User Reviews— “SPY Fox: Operation Ozone is rated E for Everyone, which means fun for the whole family.

Verdict
The clearest difference is price: ScummVM at Free against SPY Fox 3's $4.99. ScummVM also leads on review sentiment (88% vs 53%) and rating (4.8 vs 4.3). SPY Fox 3's advantage is chart position (#176 vs unranked) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 13.0). On update cadence, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
