It is super hard to land a rocket on a platform in the middle of an ocean. Elon Musk has had to learn that the hard way, and now, you too can experience the crushing disappointment of trying to land the SpaceX Falcon 9 lander, thanks to this game (completely unaffiliated with SpaceX). Yes, it is possible to land it!
ShuttleBattle

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: ShuttleBattle at none against Falcon Lander's 1. ShuttleBattle also leads on ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (100% vs 65%). Falcon Lander's advantage is update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 36 months). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
