HEY TAXI! Remember Space Taxi, the legendary C64 cult classic from 1984? Fire the thrusters, land gently, pick up passengers — a feeling that shaped a whole generation. Orbit Taxi is our homage to that masterpiece: the cult gameplay brought back to life, with brand new levels, lovingly drawn animations, clever obstacles and everything a modern game needs — but with the heart of back then. YOUR SHIFT BEGINS Somewhere a passenger shouts "Hey Taxi!" — find them, set down gently beside them, get them to their destination. Sounds easy? Wait until three of them are shouting at once, the fuel runs low and the pad is smaller than your taxi … 20 HANDBUILT LEVELS From your first driving lesson to a hell ride through wormholes and solar wind. And once you clear them all: the Night Shift is waiting — same city, a completely different game. THREE TAXIS TO FALL IN LOVE WITH Rusty, the rattling old-timer with backfires and exhaust clouds · Nova, the neon speedster with an afterburner · Comet, the warp ship with energy rings. Each with its own sound, its own physics, its own character — and all of them want to be looked after. OBSTACLES & HAZARDS Meteors, lightning fields, moving platforms, narrow shafts — every level brings a new piece of mischief. Precision pays off: gentle landings earn tips! COLLECT, SHINE, SHOW OFF Earn stars, unlock paint jobs, chase achievements and climb the leaderboard. After every shift your taxi celebrates you — or cries, if it went badly. PLAYS EVERYWHERE On iPhone and iPad with touch controls, on Apple TV with the Siri Remote and on your Mac — with full controller support. Plus a new soundtrack somewhere between space funk and cartoon jazz that never gets annoying. FAIR, NOT NASTY The first 3 levels are free. After that, one single purchase unlocks everything — forever. No ads. No subscriptions. No loot boxes. Promised. In 31 languages. Built with love by a small studio that never forgot Space Taxi. Hop in — your passengers are waiting! (Orbit Taxi is an independent homage and is not affiliated with the rights holders of the original.)

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Orbit Taxi at none against Vertigus's shown. On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Vertigus sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Orbit Taxi sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
