Do you like pushing buttons and shouting at your friends? Do you like discharging Clip-jawed Fluxtrunions? If you answered yes, or no, then you might have what it takes to be on a Spaceteam. Spaceteam is a cooperative party game for 2 to 8 players who shout technobabble at each other until their ship explodes. Each player needs a mobile device (phone, tablet, iPod Touch, etc) You'll be assigned a random control panel with buttons, switches, sliders, and dials. You need to follow time-sensitive instructions. However, the instructions are being sent to your teammates, so you have to coordinate before the time runs out. Also, the ship is falling apart. And you're trying to outrun an exploding star. Good luck. And remember to work together... as a Spaceteam!

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is update cadence: 4 Player Reactor at monthly against Spaceteam's every 4 months. 4 Player Reactor also leads on iOS requirement (9.1 vs 12.0). Spaceteam's advantage is ratings volume (3K vs 160) and chart position (#165 vs unranked). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.5 for Spaceteam against 4.7 for 4 Player Reactor. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Spaceteam has 3K ratings behind it against 160, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 84% of Spaceteam's written reviews are positive against 89% of 4 Player Reactor's.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Spaceteam ships an update every 4 months, 4 Player Reactor monthly. Both last shipped on October 29, 2026.
