Ablative Air for BlackBerry 10 is quite unique as far as I can tell. I've not played a game like it myself on BlackBerry, although there may be similar ones on other platforms. The developer of Ablative Air is actually an employee of QNX and while he may work on promoting car software by day, he has been spending his evenings working on this cool space game. 

The concept of Ablative Air is to protect the space station that orbits the earth. There's no aliens in this one but like in real life you are protecting it from debris that travels through space. So, from your space craft you must aim your lasers and lock on to the debris before it collides with the space station. The debris will be circled in a blue circle, however if that circle turns red it means that a collision is imminent. Using the laser crosshairs you must lock on to the debris and blast it before impact. 

There are also some bonus items you can pick up occasionally that float through space in the form of an colored orbs. These include Scatter Shot and Super Sights - which puts your crosshairs on auto-pilot. You'll also come across some rockets as you progress through the levels and shooting these will cause an explosion - therefore destroying any surrounding debris. 

By pure coincidence the game has also been released around the same time as the movie Gravity hits theaters. If you fancy pretending you are George Clooney or Sandra Bullock this will be a good way to do so!  With great graphics and realistic NASA style commentary Ablative Air is quite a beauty. The game costs £1.50/$1.99 and is exclusive to the BlackBerry Z10 and Z30
