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 in-app purchases: Link at none against Spaceteam's 1. Link also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.5) and update cadence (daily vs every 4 months). Spaceteam's advantage is ratings volume (3K vs 8) and chart position (#107 vs unranked). On price and ads there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Link holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Spaceteam ships an update every 4 months, Link daily. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and October 11, 2026 respectively.
