ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Orbital Invaders holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Orbital Invaders has 38 ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 64% of Orbital Invaders's written reviews are positive against 70% of Laser Panic's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Orbital Invaders ships an update every 3 weeks, Laser Panic every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 13, 2026 and June 1, 2026 respectively.
