Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Flying Penguin at none against Pasta Machine's 22. Flying Penguin also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (5.0 vs 4.6). Pasta Machine's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 40 months) and ratings volume (8.8K vs 2). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
