Gatecrasher is a game. As a player of this game you will control a ship. You will have two buttons; one button to rotate your ship clockwise, and another to rotate your ship the direction that isn't clockwise. You must navigate your ship through gates, without crashing into them. I realise while writing this that the name of the game may be misleading, as the objective of the game is to not crash into the gates. I apologise for this, and those responsible have been fired.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Gatecrasher at none against Micro RPG's 17. Gatecrasher also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 15.0). Micro RPG's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 5 months) and ratings volume (7.7K vs 498). On price, review sentiment and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Micro RPG sells 16 one-off in-app purchases. Gatecrasher asks for nothing beyond the download.
Micro RPG holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Micro RPG has 7.7K ratings behind it against 498, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 74% of Gatecrasher's written reviews are positive against 67% of Micro RPG's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Gatecrasher ships an update every 5 months, Micro RPG weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 1, 2026 and October 2, 2026 respectively.
