Price, ratings, monetisation and update history for both games, side by side — with what reviewers say about each.
Jupiter Explorer
Read full descriptionHide full description
The game is set in the atmosphere of the planet Jupiter. The mission is to explore the atmosphere and collect information with the probe’s sensors. However, the atmosphere is full of substances that can harm the probe. Specifically, red acid bubbles that cause damage when they collide with the probe. As the probe falls further into the planet, gravity increases and the bubbles move faster. While the probe falls through Jupiter’s atmosphere, the goal of the player is to pilot it, so scientists may collect their data. The player must avoid contact with the red bubbles and minimize damage to the probe. The mother ship periodically shoots power pods to the probe. The player must catch the pods to reduce the damage and keep the probe running. The player uses the smartphone’s inclinometer to control the movement of the probe. As the difficulty of the game increases, the probe must move and react faster.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Jupiter Explorer at none against Project Artemis's 4. Jupiter Explorer also leads on iOS requirement (12.2 vs 26.4). Project Artemis's advantage is update cadence (daily vs every 55 months). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
