Pebble Command is a deeply addictive game of real-time tactics. • Extremely Addictive, you have been warned. • 12 progressively harder stages to get through, playable over 3 difficulty levels: Each stage requires unique tactics to be beaten. • Original & Intuitive Control: Pebble Command is designed for the iOS touch screen. • Multiplayer: Play the entire game solo or co-op with a friend over local Wi-Fi. Compare scores and challenge friends on Game Center. • Each stage features a unique musical score designed to aid your focus, so headphones are recommended. • It's free as in ACTUALLY free - no ads / in-app purchase / "other great games" / etc, I work on Pebble Command because I like to play it.

A classic asteroids game with vector graphics. Inspired by the coin-op arcade games from the 80's, this game features a parallax background and glowing vector graphics that float on top for a pseudo 3D effect. To play you must stay alive by shooting asteroids, ufos, and space mines. The number of asteroids will increase as the game progresses, and the ufos will get smarter, and the space mines will start appearing sooner. Power up your shields and guns by collecting power-ups from destroyed asteroids. How long can you survive the deadly asteroid field?

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Pebble Command at none against Planetoids Deluxe's 2. Pebble Command also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 67%) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). Planetoids Deluxe's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months) and rating (4.3 vs 4.0). On price, ads, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Planetoids Deluxe sells 2 one-off in-app purchases. Pebble Command asks for nothing beyond the download.
Planetoids Deluxe holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Planetoids Deluxe has 6 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Pebble Command's written reviews are positive against 67% of Planetoids Deluxe's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Pebble Command ships an update every 2 months, Planetoids Deluxe fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on September 27, 2026 and October 4, 2026 respectively.
