The clearest difference is price: Bomboras Forever at Free against Space War GS's $1.99. Bomboras Forever also leads on rating (3.7 vs 3.3) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 17.0). Space War GS's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (52 vs 3). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
