A star snake answers the oldest distress call in the galaxy: meow. Plays in portrait or landscape, on iPhone and iPad. Cats are lost in space. They drift between asteroids, nap on moons, and orbit black holes without a care. You are the snake sent to bring them home: glide through real star systems, rescue every cat you find, and grow longer with each one. The longer you get, the trickier the flying. Try not to tie yourself in a knot. FLY ACROSS REAL WORLDS A handcrafted campaign through five star systems, from Earth's backyard to the edge of a supermassive black hole. Real planets, real scale, real trouble. GROW YOUR SPACE SNAKE Every rescue makes you longer, faster, and harder to steer. Earn up to three stars per level, then come back and fly it cleaner. DODGE EVERYTHING Asteroids, gravity wells, pulsar beams, radiation storms, and black holes that will happily keep your snake forever. RESCUE MISSION EARTH An endless orbit around home. How far can you fly, and how many cats can you save? Climb the Game Center leaderboard. FIND THE GOLDEN CATS One legendary cat hides along a risky line in every level. Rescue them all if you dare. MAKE IT YOURS A Pet Store of cosmetic serpents and astro-cat outfits. Purely cosmetic, entirely optional. FLY YOUR WAY Touch or tilt controls, a gentler Casual mode, and no account or signup, ever. Progress saves quietly to iCloud. Every cat needs a hero. Answer the meow.
Rocket Landers

Easy to launch. A challenge to land. Take control of your rocket and explore spectacular alien worlds in Rocket Landers, a colourful space adventure inspired by classic rocket-landing games. Manage your thrust, adjust your angle and touch down gently on the landing platform. Every correction matters. Can you land quickly and close enough to the centre to earn three stars? EXPLORE 14 WORLDS Travel through a 66-level campaign featuring frozen landscapes, desert ruins, lush alien jungles, orbital spaceports and volcanic worlds. Follow a winding star map and watch your rocket travel between planets. MASTER EVERY LANDING Your star rating depends on your flight time and distance from the centre of the platform. Replay completed levels to improve your best result. Stars earned with any unlocked rocket count towards the same level record. UNLOCK 15 ROCKETS Build your fleet by reaching new levels, collecting stars and completing safe landings. See each rocket's unlock requirements in the garage and choose your favourite before take-off. EXPECT THE UNEXPECTED Adapt to changing gravity and winds that can shift in strength and direction. Avoid drifting space debris, passing rockets, electrical hazards and erupting lava. Meteors can knock you off course, so be ready to recover! MAKE EVERY ATTEMPT COUNT Your energy shield offers limited protection when things get rough. Learn the route, refine your approach and try again. There are no lives to run out of. CONTINUE YOUR JOURNEY Each rocket remembers your campaign progress. Return to earlier planets whenever you want to improve your stars and work towards the ultimate challenge: three stars on every main campaign level. FEEL THE FLIGHT Enjoy animated engine flames, steering thrusters, rising dust, glowing hazards, sound effects and haptic feedback. Celebrate successful landings with fireworks and discover a special ending for dedicated pilots. TRY THE ADVENTURE Play the first five levels for free. Unlock the rest of the adventure with a single in-app purchase. Rockets are earned through gameplay. No subscriptions and no ads. A little patience. A steady hand. One perfect landing. Your next world is waiting.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Rocket Landers at none against Snake's shown. Rocket Landers also leads on update cadence (every 2 days vs every 6 days). Snake's advantage is iOS requirement (16.4 vs 18.0). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
