Based on a mythical vector arcade machine of the late 1980s that was never released, Vector-Z is a space shooter with advanced vector graphics and particle systems designed to dazzle your senses… it's as if the 1980's arcades never went away and the games kept getting better. Vector-Z is a unique, retro-style arcade game with glowing multicolor vector-graphics, analog synthesized sounds, and a retro soundtrack with amazing spaced out tunes to zap extraterrestrial invaders to. Some of Vector-Z's aliens have shields you have to time your shots to break through. There’s also an asteroid bonus level where you can break up asteroids for points, and break up bigger asteroids for power-ups, including bonus shields, extra lives, score multiplier, and a faster fire rate. HINTS: • Vector-Z’s ship holds 2 missiles. One fires from each wing, so there’s a slight offset. There is also a brief reload time. • Aliens are worth more points when they are attacking you. Even more points when they are really close! • Go for the bonus points from accuracy: at 50% you get 100 pts per hit, 200 pts at 75%, 400 pts at 90%, and 800 bonus pts per hit with 100% accuracy! • Aim for the bigger asteroids to collect hexagonal power-ups Vector-Z is compatible with iCade, and requires iOS 7.1 or later.

This is a very chill Sandbox "City Builder", No Goals, just build your island as beautifully as you can with the given buildings. When you start the game gives you a 4x4 up to 12x12 block island, and the colors of the Roofs, Water, Grass, and Trees, are randomly picked. Then you are given a random building that you can rotate and place where you choose. After placing you will be given another building, to build a nice little pretty island. The current build is the third version, It includes three styles which are given randomly at the start. More buildings will be added soon. As well as some more visual polish and things to add to its relaxing nature. Current Styles include: - Medieval (castle-type stuff) - Plain (modern-day normal-looking buildings) - Adobe (pueblo architectural style) - Guarda (a style based on the village of Guarda, Switzerland) The Game is solo developed, hopefully, you enjoy it, it's a very simple concept. And this is my first game in actual 3D where I had to use Blender to model the buildings.

Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Otok at 100% against Vector's 40%. Otok also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 6 weeks) and chart position (#180 vs unranked). Vector's advantage is rating (4.2 vs 3.7) and ratings volume (10 vs 3). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Vector holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 3.7. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 10 and 3 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 40% of Vector's written reviews are positive against 100% of Otok's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
