Please note: Not compatible with iPad 2, iPad Mini 1, or iPod 5. The story of Morphite takes place in a far off future when humanity has long since populated the distant reaches of space. The player takes on the role of Myrah Kale, a young woman residing on a space station and workshop under the care of her surrogate father, Mr. Mason. What starts as a simple exploratory mission to gather supplies to support their shop rapidly turns into a journey revealing Myrah’s unknown past and her relationship to a rare, coveted, and nearly extinct material called Morphite. In order to unlock and understand the mysteries of her past, Myrah must travel to undiscovered planets, roam uncharted sectors of space, and confront exotic creatures and locales in search of this Morphite. Aside from the main storyline, the worlds of Morphite are randomly generated. Encounter various creature types, landscapes, caves, rivers, and more to explore. Explore large space stations, abandoned or infested with alien life.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Shakedown at 4.9 against Morphite's 4.6. Shakedown also leads on review sentiment (92% vs 73%) and price ($4.99 vs $7.99). Morphite's advantage is ratings volume (948 vs 21) and update cadence (every 5 days vs fortnightly). On ads, in-app purchases, monetization model and chart position there is nothing between them.
