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 clearest difference is update cadence: Sumo POP at every 2 weeks against Spaceteam's every 4 months. Sumo POP also leads on iOS requirement (10.0 vs 15.0). Spaceteam's advantage is ratings volume (3K vs 78) and chart position (#192 vs unranked). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Spaceteam sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Sumo POP sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.5 for Spaceteam against 4.6 for Sumo POP. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Spaceteam has 3K ratings behind it against 78, 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 83% of Sumo POP's.
Spaceteam ships an update every 4 months, Sumo POP every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 4, 2026 respectively.
