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.

You are a black hole. Everything else is food. Start barely big enough to swallow an asteroid. Drift through space eating debris, astronauts, rockets and fleeing spaceships — and every bite makes you bigger. Grow enough and the planets stop being scenery and start being lunch. Grow enough after that, and you swallow a star. But you are not the only hole out there. Rival black holes hunt the same field, and anything larger than you will eat you without hesitation. FEATURES • 100 handcrafted levels with escalating objectives • Endless mode — unlocked by beating level 50 • 20+ black hole skins, from simple colours to shaped holes, shockwave rings and living flame • Rival AI holes that flee what they fear and chase what they can catch • Boost to run down escaping ships — but boosting burns your own mass • Permanent upgrades: speed, growth, boost, coin gain, head start • One-thumb controls, portrait, playable offline Simple to start. Genuinely hard to finish.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Jupiter Explorer at none against Black Hole Galaxy's 10. Jupiter Explorer also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (12.2 vs 15.0). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
