About

Star Conquer

Crossing a silent starfield, you are a fingertip fleet ready to deploy—use direct touch controls to flip planets and shape the map with simple rules that create rich tactical tension. Slide forces off your planet and link to any target; troops will steadily reduce the opponent's points. When a planet's points reach zero, it changes to your color. Intuitive controls with clear feedback deliver immediate satisfaction while concealing evolving strategic depth. You'll notice the details: visible swipe trails, and how the rhythm of reinforcing and splitting forces shifts nearby frontlines. Seize brief windows of weakness — a single chain capture can quickly tilt the balance. Suited for short breaks, it also sharpens judgement across multiple matches. Every move is rewarding: watch planet after planet join your side, as visual and numerical changes provide steady gratification. With no steep learning curve, you can experience the full loop from setup to payoff in minutes. This is a world that condenses strategy to your fingertips — reshape the galactic map with your gestures; the next short-match victory is waiting for you to make the move.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Star Conquer at none against Stick's 1. Star Conquer also leads on device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.6). Stick's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 5 days vs every 3 weeks). On price there is nothing between them.
