ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Planet Runner holds the better App Store score, 3.9 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Alien Morgue has 61 ratings behind it against 9, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 0% of Planet Runner's written reviews are positive against 63% of Alien Morgue's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Planet Runner ships an update daily, Alien Morgue every 9 days. Both last shipped on October 28, 2026.
