Each Bibot has his own strengths, try them all and pick your favourite according to your own playstyle. Venture through mysterious temples in a colourful world full of characters to discover but also inhabited by dangerous monsters. The world is divided into regions, each with its own atmosphere to discover. The regions are procedurally generated and contain hand crafted battle rooms, treasures, merchants and secrets changing each time you play. Protect your home from vile enemies corrupting the fauna and threatening Takaful. Choose the Bibot that will join Tayar in his epic journey, accumulate energy during your fights and use it to summon the devastating power of these mechanical beings. Each Bibot has its own playstyle and abilities, use them to fight your toughest enemies or save yourself from impossible situations. Learn to master them! The more you fight with the same Bibot, the more its synergy with Tayar will increase, unlocking new variants of its attacks to customize them before going into battle. Equip Tayar with a variety of weapons which you can customize with chips that you will find while exploring or encountering merchants. Experiment and combine their effects to customize your playstyle and create the weapons of your dream with countless possibilities and powerful synergie. Accumulate experience during your fights to improve Tayar's skills. Make it a survivalist, a soldier, a scientist or mix it all up.

Die, try and repeat to break your records… Or well, to save the world!

Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Star Survivor at 73% against Bibots's 48%. Star Survivor also leads on rating (4.6 vs 4.3) and price ($2.99 vs $5.99). Bibots's advantage is update cadence (every 6 days vs fortnightly). On ads, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
