Reflex Guardian
Read full descriptionHide full description
In Reflex Guardian, your objective is to defend your base by destroying incoming creatures using color-matching weapon controls. As creatures approach, you must press the button on your control panel that matches the closest creature's color to destroy it. Stay alert, react quickly, and strategically use your power-ups. Special creatures, like Mutant Creatures, flash and require three hits to be destroyed, while Mega Creatures need multiple hits. The game ends when creatures reach your base or if you press the wrong color button more than three times.
TapTapUp

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: TapTapUp at none against Reflex Guardian's 4. TapTapUp also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 3 days vs every 3 months). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
