ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

VR Space Roller Coaster Galaxy holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: VR Space Roller Coaster Galaxy has 1.5K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of Garden Eel AR/VR's written reviews are positive against 46% of VR Space Roller Coaster Galaxy's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Garden Eel AR/VR ships an update every 3 months, VR Space Roller Coaster Galaxy every 4 months. The most recent releases landed on June 9, 2026 and September 23, 2026 respectively.
