ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Idle Mars Survival holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Idle Mars Survival has 1.5K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of Breadmaker Game's written reviews are positive against 35% of Idle Mars Survival's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
