Introducing Intergalactic Algebra! A collection of algebra games that challenges you to use various math skills in order to solve mathematical problems in order to launch rockets into space! Intergalactic algebra uses Common Core aligned math. (Follows Common Core standard CCSS.MATH.HS.A.SSE.B.3) Now these basic operations can be used to guide rockets into space and accelerate the space race. Try Intergalactic Algebra! Assess proficiency in addition and subtraction, factoring, functions, multiples of ten, number of solutions, quadratics, rates of change, rocket trivia, systems of equations, and word problems. Rewarding levels of gameplay maintain engagement. You will forget you were doing math as you launch rockets into space! You may optionally buy reports in order to analyze what questions were missed. Teachers and parents may find this optional feature particularly useful. In order to purchase one of these reports, the player must create an account so that they can keep track of their reports and watch as they improve their math skills.

Build and run your own space program — like SpaceX, but yours. Launch rockets, manage astronauts, mine planets, and colonize the solar system from the Moon to beyond the Kuiper Belt. WHAT WOULD YOU DO AS A SPACE BILLIONAIRE? Send tourists on a spacewalk? Start a mining operation on Titan? Build a space station around Mars? In Tiny Space Program you manage the early colonization of our solar system — based on real orbital mechanics and ship propulsion. BUILD YOUR SPACE AGENCY - Launch rockets and spaceships into orbit - Build off-world colonies, outposts, and modular space stations - Mine resources on moons, planets, and dwarf planets - Research new technologies and better spacecraft - Level up your astronauts and equip spacesuits - Establish off-world economies and trade A CHILL GAME, NOT A CHORE No forced ads, no daily-streak punishments. Play at your own pace — run an hour-long research expedition, take tourists on a quick tour, then put it down and come back later. Mines keep producing while you're away.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Intergalactic Algebra at none against Tiny Space Program's shown. Intergalactic Algebra also leads on rating (4.8 vs 4.5) and review sentiment (100% vs 81%). Tiny Space Program's advantage is ratings volume (1.7K vs 6). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Intergalactic Algebra sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Tiny Space Program sells 14 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Intergalactic Algebra holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Tiny Space Program has 1.7K ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 100% of Intergalactic Algebra's written reviews are positive against 81% of Tiny Space Program's.
Intergalactic Algebra ships an update every 3 weeks, Tiny Space Program every 2 months. Both last shipped on October 9, 2026.
