Space Docking is a difficult game to describe. It is set in space, hence the first part of the title. As a player your main (and only) activity will be docking, as described by the second part of the title. Now that I think about it, the game is quite self explanatory, which renders this description somewhat pointless. I apologise for wasting your time, you can rest assured that my copywriter has been fired. I will now attempt to remedy the situation by listing out some random, unrelated buzzwords... Endless! Leaderboards! Space! Haptic Feedback! Drum and Bass! Docking! Explosions! iPhone X! The Other iPhones! iPads! Space! Docking! Space Docking!

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Space Docking at none against Cosmic Horizons's 10. Space Docking also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (daily vs every 2 months). Cosmic Horizons's advantage is rating (4.2 vs 4.0) and ratings volume (82 vs 5). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Cosmic Horizons holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Cosmic Horizons has 82 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 65% of Cosmic Horizons's written reviews are positive against 79% of Space Docking's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Cosmic Horizons ships an update every 2 months, Space Docking daily. The most recent releases landed on October 26, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
