Humanity's last colonists are under siege. Alien raiders are sweeping in from every side to snatch them from the surface below — and you're the only ship standing between them and total abduction. DEFENDER REBORN brings the golden-age arcade shoot-'em-up back to life, rebuilt from scratch for modern touch screens. Enjoyed DEFENDER REBORN? I also made METEORIC, another classic arcade tribute, and ALIENSWARMS, an original 3D space combat game unlike anything else -- both available on the App Store.

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: DontSpam at none against Defender Reborn's 1. Defender Reborn's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 4 months) and ratings volume (3 vs 1). On price, rating, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
