The first real 3D Black Hole ever in a game! Augmented Reality Space Game: When space is our only chance to survive, we need to explore our solar system, in this augmented reality (AR) space simulation game, in a hope we're gonna have the answers to save our species from impending extinction. There's someone or something out there who left clues and ways for us to contact, but why? Do we wanna know? We have no choice, WE HAVE TO KNOW! ========= VISUALLY STUNNING You're gonna feel like a live IMAX movie theater experience. We pushed AR its boundaries in this game with the perfect balance between, cinematic graphics and best performance. INNOVATIVE CAMERA SYSTEM Our innovative camera system is like nothing in AR so far. Change perspective, yet, but it's still gonna work and feel as the default AR camera (device live camera). No spoilers here. Just download this game and you'll be stunned. 3D SPATIAL AUDIO In this game, space speaks with you. Your position in the real world affects the audio you hear. Just like in real life, you can hear your surroundings. You can listen to "see with your ears" where a strange object is, maybe orbiting close to you. Maybe an explosion nearby. You have to listen to space. IT'S JUST THE BEGINNING This is just the beginning. We plan on expanding the game in future update, with new stages and features. And you will get it without the need to pay more for it. ======== **If you enjoying playing the game, please consider leaving a review on the App Store.

  • Real-time planetary collisions
  • Customizable simulation parameters
  • Setup Mode for scenario creation
  • Adjustable particle count and accuracy
  • Physics-based detailed simulation
Features
Read full description

Smash worlds together and watch them shatter, merge, and melt, driven by real physics, not pre-made animations. Every planet is made of thousands of interacting particles, so every collision is computed live and no two impacts ever look the same. Build your own scenario in Setup Mode: place up to 8 bodies, set their size, density, spin and velocity, then let gravity do the rest. Or dive straight into a head-on collision and watch the debris glow, cool, and form a crust. - True particle physics (SPH), the first of its kind on mobile - Molten impact zones: heat, lava, and cooling crusts - Give planets rings or shred a moon into one with tidal forces (Roche limit) - Protoplanetary disk and colliding-galaxies modes - Black holes that tear planets apart - Custom planet textures from your own photos - Runs on everything: tune particle count, accuracy, and timescale to your device

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Space Crash Simulator at Free against ORBIT AR's $0.99. Space Crash Simulator also leads on review sentiment (82% vs 50%) and ratings volume (608 vs 4). ORBIT AR's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.5) and in-app purchases (none vs 1). On device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

ORBIT AR holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Space Crash Simulator has 608 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of ORBIT AR's written reviews are positive against 82% of Space Crash Simulator's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

ORBIT AR ships an update every 2 weeks, Space Crash Simulator every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on September 28, 2026 and October 14, 2026 respectively.
