ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Heli Strike holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Burning Sky has 61 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 69% of Burning Sky's written reviews are positive against 0% of Heli Strike's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
