Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Rocket Sky! at 4.5 against Space Wave's 3.0. Rocket Sky! also leads on ratings volume (109K vs 2). Space Wave's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 3 months) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
