Story outline In stardate 87, the struggle between Gilbey Allies and the Starrichnaya Empire that had been deadlocked for a long time, got suddenly broken by the invasion of Imperial Bombay. You must become a test pilot of the latest fighter Stinger, developed at Planet Bombay, and deliver the test aircraft to the Planet Beefeater. Game overview This is a shooting game that can progress to 360 degrees. The acceleration of your aircraft takes inertia, and you can experience a unique sense of operation that you cannot have elsewhere. Clear all the given missions to clear the stage. The contents of mission are various, such as the destruction of enemies and patrols of designated airspace. The graphic is recreated with a nostalgic dot picture reminiscent of an 80's arcade. Unique dot picture characters run around the screen. Enemy characters have various characteristics such as enemies dashing towards your aircraft, enemies that shoot guided missiles, and long-lasting enemies. Quickly find a strategy and destroy it.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: BUGTRONICA at none against StingerEP1's 6. BUGTRONICA also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (6.0 vs 12.0). StingerEP1's advantage is update cadence (every 2 months vs every 26 months). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
