In Space Ace you play the heroic Ace who must stop the evil Commander Borf from taking over the Earth! Borf plans to reduce all of humankind to infants and take over the planet. Only two people have the courage and strength to stop Borf and save Earth: the beautiful Kimberly and the heroic Ace. But as they approach Borf’s stronghold, Ace is hit by the Infanto Ray, changing him into a child, and Kimberly is kidnapped by the evil madman. Armed with only a laser gun, Ace must find and destroy the Infanto Ray, rescue Kimberly and save the Earth. The fate of Earth is in your hands! This release of Don Bluth’s legendary animated arcade game features video transferred directly from the stunning high definition master, delivering the sharpest images and most vibrant colors ever – far better than the original laserdisc release. Simply press on the direction pad to guide Ace in the right direction or fire your laser gun and blast those aliens away. Don Bluth and his production teams are the creative genius behind such beloved classics as The Secret of NIMH, An American Tail and Anastasia to name but a few. We hope you enjoy Space Ace!

Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Space Ace at $4.99 against Tomb Raider™'s $19.99. Space Ace also leads on iOS requirement (8.0 vs 18.0). Tomb Raider™'s advantage is rating (4.8 vs 4.1) and update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 6 months). On ads, in-app purchases, monetization model and chart position there is nothing between them.
