Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Colony Attack at 4.4 against Deep Space's 3.2. Colony Attack also leads on ratings volume (208 vs 5) and review sentiment (79% vs 60%). Deep Space's advantage is update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 3 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
