Humanity's last colonists are under siege. Alien raiders are sweeping in from every side to snatch them from the surface below — and you're the only ship standing between them and total abduction. DEFENDER REBORN brings the golden-age arcade shoot-'em-up back to life, rebuilt from scratch for modern touch screens. Enjoyed DEFENDER REBORN? I also made METEORIC, another classic arcade tribute, and ALIENSWARMS, an original 3D space combat game unlike anything else -- both available on the App Store.
CentipemiX

Verdict
Defender Reborn and CentipemiX are too close to call on the numbers: across 5 compared parameters — price, ads, in-app purchases and device support among them — neither pulls far enough ahead to decide it. What separates them is feature set and interface, not measurable difference.
