You are a doctor from the future. With your Treatment Simulator, you can fight back against even the roughest cancer invasions. Design a custom treatment schedule for each virtual patient. The treatment schedules you design will be sent to researchers at Moffitt Cancer Center to help discover new strategies. Good luck, doctor! Cancer is a complex disease. Tumor cells are often able to evolve resistance and keep growing even when patients are given a variety of treatments. A predictive mathematical model is the core engine of this simulator and allows us to explore how to adjust treatment strategies to win against cancer in the long run. After being taught how to use the different therapies and progressing through levels that test your knowledge, you will treat randomized virtual patients with different traits to help us learn more about how to design treatment schedules to combat cancer resistance in real-life patients. In Cancer Crusade you will… • Learn about real-life cancer treatment strategies • Move back and forth in time to discover the best treatment plan • Use different scans to learn more about the tumor cells and find weak points • Improve patient quality of life by balancing treatment doses to be effective but not too toxic

Build and run your own space program — like SpaceX, but yours. Launch rockets, manage astronauts, mine planets, and colonize the solar system from the Moon to beyond the Kuiper Belt. WHAT WOULD YOU DO AS A SPACE BILLIONAIRE? Send tourists on a spacewalk? Start a mining operation on Titan? Build a space station around Mars? In Tiny Space Program you manage the early colonization of our solar system — based on real orbital mechanics and ship propulsion. BUILD YOUR SPACE AGENCY - Launch rockets and spaceships into orbit - Build off-world colonies, outposts, and modular space stations - Mine resources on moons, planets, and dwarf planets - Research new technologies and better spacecraft - Level up your astronauts and equip spacesuits - Establish off-world economies and trade A CHILL GAME, NOT A CHORE No forced ads, no daily-streak punishments. Play at your own pace — run an hour-long research expedition, take tourists on a quick tour, then put it down and come back later. Mines keep producing while you're away.

Tiny Space Program's advantage is update cadence (monthly vs every 11 months) and ratings volume (1.6K vs 11). On price, review sentiment and device support there is nothing between them.
