ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Spaceland holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Spaceland has 584 ratings behind it against 40, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 66% of Dark Quest 2's written reviews are positive against 35% of Spaceland's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
