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 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.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Spaceteam sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Link asks for nothing beyond the download.
Link holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Spaceteam has 3K ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 84% of Spaceteam's written reviews are positive against 100% of Link's.
Spaceteam ships an update every 4 months, Link daily. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and October 11, 2026 respectively.
