You're a rocket. There's a lot of stuff flying at you. Don't get hit. That's pretty much it but trust us, it's harder than it sounds. ZigRocket is an arcade dodger set in deep space. Weave through asteroids, aliens, comets, and all kinds of cosmic junk as the speed keeps climbing and the chaos keeps growing. Every run feels different, every level gets a little more intense, and that high score is always just one good run away. Pick it up, put it down, come back for one more run. You know how it goes!

The world changed overnight. People began to become infected with an unknown disease. Some become aggressive, others disappear without a trace. Communication between the cities is disrupted, and information about what is happening is cut off in mid-sentence. You are one of the few people who are trying to make sense of what is happening. Explore abandoned places, find supplies, collect evidence, and survive among the infected.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Stranger at none against ZigRocket's shown. Stranger also leads on ratings volume (20 vs 1) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). On price, rating, review sentiment and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 5.0 for ZigRocket against 5.0 for Stranger. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Stranger has 20 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 100% and 100% positive.
