Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Rogue Invaders at none against Astro's 3. Rogue Invaders also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 28 months). Astro's advantage is ratings volume (5 vs 1) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 17.0). On price, rating, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
