ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Planet Survivor! holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Planet Survivor! has 97 ratings behind it against 16, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 72% of Luxor 2's written reviews are positive against 0% of Planet Survivor!'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Luxor 2 ships an update every 7 months, Planet Survivor! weekly. The most recent releases landed on November 8, 2026 and November 5, 2026 respectively.
