This game has been inspired by the new space age that we live in, developed by Elon Musk, owner of the Spacex company and rockets: Starhopper, Superheavy, Starship. This game is based on the flight simulation of vertical take-off and landing rockets. In the game you will have to take off and land on the platforms with the handling of inertial controls, just like in real life. Each landing has a limited amount of fuel.

The clearest difference is price: Space Lander X at Free against Space Agency's $1.99. Space Lander X also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 11) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 12.0). Space Agency's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (75% vs 57%). On rating and device support there is nothing between them.
