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.

You wake up on a cold, rainy night at an abandoned railway station with no memory of how you got there. The last train left hours ago — or did it? Strange sounds echo through the empty halls, and the line between reality and nightmare begins to blur. Rainy Station is a first-person psychological horror adventure set across four haunting locations: the abandoned station, a foggy forest, a derelict hospital, and a decaying bedroom. Each chapter peels back a layer of a dark mystery that grows more unsettling with every step. ESCAPE MODE (new) The station won't let you go. The fishing boat at the pier still runs, but its parts have been stripped. Find them, haul them, fit them, get out. • Carrying a part means no weapon and slower movement — one hauls, one covers • Fitting a part pins you in place and makes noise; the horde hears it • Every part fitted raises the pressure for good: the round escalates, it doesn't flatline • The engine isn't the end — you have to barricade the pier before she sails • Last stand: hold the pier while the engine warms, and keep the barricades up • Pick your downed teammate back up; a death doesn't end the run • 1-4 players, 10-12 minute runs. A bigger crew gets more work, not an easier one. FEATURES • Online co-op: up to 4 players, in Escape or Free mode • Drivable cars you can run zombies down with • Atmospheric first-person horror with a slow-burn narrative • Four distinct chapters, each with its own visual identity and scares • Immersive sound design and dynamic weather effects • Puzzle-driven exploration with environmental storytelling • Original soundtrack composed to heighten dread • Available in English and Turkish This game contains themes of psychological horror, disturbing imagery, and mild violence. Not recommended for players with anxiety or sensitivity to horror content.

Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Rainy Station at Free against Vector's $0.99. Rainy Station also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 6 weeks). Vector's advantage is rating (4.2 vs 1.0) and review sentiment (40% vs 0%). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
