The year is 2048. The International Global Alliance have discovered an asteroid field fast approaching Earth. These celestial bodies are different from anything they've seen before, because mysteriously, they are perfectly shaped cubes. It quickly becomes clear that these asteroids can not be destroyed with conventional weapons and therefore, in an unprecedented move, the governments of the Earth unite to build the ultimate defence spacecraft, ASTROBLAST™! By analysing the consistency of the alien asteroids in real time, the Elite Pilots of Planet Earth can detect surface vulnerabilities with lightning speed and destroy each asteroid by level of threat. In addition, the state of the art ASTROBLAST™ defender grows stronger with each asteroid destroyed by using a sophisticated technique to absorb the energy generated by the explosions. Become the Pilot of the ASTROBLAST™! Claim your place in history! Save the Universe! Game Features: • Easy One Touch Controls • Hundreds of Intense Levels to Complete • Cinematic Theme FX & Hi-Res 3D Graphics • Ultimate Pilot Game Center Leaderboards

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Goobie Garden at Free against AstroBlast™'s $0.29. Goobie Garden also leads on ratings volume (65 vs 1). AstroBlast™'s advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.2) and in-app purchases (none vs 10). On review sentiment, update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

AstroBlast™ holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Goobie Garden has 65 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 73% of AstroBlast™'s written reviews are positive against 76% of Goobie Garden's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

AstroBlast™ ships an update every 3 weeks, Goobie Garden fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 5, 2026 respectively.
