Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Pinvaders at none against Darkest Space's shown. Pinvaders also leads on update cadence (every 15 months vs every 44 months). Darkest Space's advantage is iOS requirement (10.0 vs 16.0). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
