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 ads: Spaceteam at none against Starlight Expedition's shown. Spaceteam also leads on chart position (#115 vs unranked) and device support (4 vs 2). Starlight Expedition's advantage is update cadence (every 10 days vs every 4 months). On price and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
