Tap the Dot The rules are simple: You have 20 seconds to tap the yellow dot as many times as you can. That’s it! Just make sure you don’t tap the bombs! After time’s up, you’ll get your score – and your high score is saved so you can try to beat it again and again. It’s fast, fun, and super easy to play. Think you can beat my score of 41?

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Dot Tap at none against Space Frontier's 1. Dot Tap also leads on ads (none vs shown). Space Frontier's advantage is update cadence (every 2 months vs every 4 months) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 18.1). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
