Aquaplane
Read full descriptionHide full description
Aquaplane offers a side-scrolling action gaming experience, taking inspiration from water skiing. As players take command of a speedboat, the real challenge unfolds with a waterskier being towed behind. Steering the speedboat through hazards while adjusting speed becomes an intricate task, as the waterskier moves in tandem but with subtle variations in direction. This nuanced movement adds a layer of difficulty, making even smaller gaps a perilous challenge to navigate. The initial round begins with a simple setup featuring rocks and a handful of logs to familiarize participants with the terrain. Subsequent rounds will escalate in complexity, introducing additional obstacles such as more logs, squids, ships, and so forth.

A follow on from AsteRAEds.... having escaped the asteroid field - you arrive back to your home planet and must land safely on the planet's moonbase. Use your skill to pilot your ship and land safely. Depending on the moon phase, gravity will be different as will the entry in to the atmosphere - making each attempt different from the last...... good luck pilot

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: RAELander at none against Aquaplane's shown. Aquaplane's advantage is update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 5 months). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
