Verdict

The call

Space Waves and #1 Tap Game both sit at 4.7 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of #1 Tap Game's written reviews are positive against 62% of Space Waves's. #1 Tap Game also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). Space Waves's advantage is ratings volume (65K vs 2) and monetization model (ad-supported vs free with in-app purchases). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Space Waves holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Space Waves has 65K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 62% of Space Waves's written reviews are positive against 100% of #1 Tap Game's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
