This is a "Inverted" Space Invaders game made by Henry Gosuen. Be in the space with tons of problem: No Gas No Ammo No Lucky Tons of bullets chasing you Manic Shooter bosses "Perhaps a less crazed difficultly level would have allowed Space Spacy to chime with a wider audience." - PocketGamer >Perhaps... but I trust you, player! - Henry Gosuen * PocketGamer's Bronze Award game * App of the day on AppZoom * AppStore featured in 118 countries "It’s heavy on risk, doused in a kind of hardcore gaming brutality, but has a compelling edge that will have you coming back for more." 7/10 - Craig Grannell [PocketGamer] "A space game for lovers of retro games" 7.8/10 - Anna Grace [AppZoom] 9.0/10 User review "I also have to mention the humour in this game. It is something we (unfortunately) rarely see today (...) Looking at the game as a whole, I can say it is a complete and good product. It has an innovative gameplay, employs the device’s hardware in an unusual manner and executes it perfectly." - Sid James [Soomla] A game single developed by Henry Gosuen 「warchild14」 Awesome music by: VHS Glitch

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: PETMAN at 4.3 against Space Spacy's 3.5. PETMAN also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 1) and update cadence (every 4 months vs every 67 months). Space Spacy's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 78%). On price, ads, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Space Spacy sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. PETMAN asks for nothing beyond the download.
PETMAN holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 3.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: PETMAN has 26 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 78% of PETMAN's written reviews are positive against 100% of Space Spacy's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
PETMAN ships an update every 4 months, Space Spacy every 67 months. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 1, 2026 respectively.
