Smash worlds together and watch them shatter, merge, and melt, driven by real physics, not pre-made animations. Every planet is made of thousands of interacting particles, so every collision is computed live and no two impacts ever look the same. Build your own scenario in Setup Mode: place up to 8 bodies, set their size, density, spin and velocity, then let gravity do the rest. Or dive straight into a head-on collision and watch the debris glow, cool, and form a crust. - True particle physics (SPH), the first of its kind on mobile - Molten impact zones: heat, lava, and cooling crusts - Give planets rings or shred a moon into one with tidal forces (Roche limit) - Protoplanetary disk and colliding-galaxies modes - Black holes that tear planets apart - Custom planet textures from your own photos - Runs on everything: tune particle count, accuracy, and timescale to your device

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Merge Stars at 5.0 against Space Crash Simulator's 4.5. Merge Stars also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 82%) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). Space Crash Simulator's advantage is ratings volume (588 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Merge Stars sells 3 one-off in-app purchases and Space Crash Simulator sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Merge Stars holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Space Crash Simulator has 588 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
