Read full descriptionHide full description
Draw a spaceship and fly it to the stars. Sketch any ship you can imagine, and Heliowake turns your drawing into a 3D ship you fly through space, land on alien worlds and step out of to explore. DRAW YOUR SHIP Draw with your finger or Apple Pencil in the hangar. Your lines and colors become your ship, with engines and landing feet. Save up to six designs, or start from nine starter ships: fighters, a saucer, a lunar lander and the Megalift heavy-lift rocket. Change your ship any time from the pause menu. FOLLOW THE SIGNAL The optional First Contact adventure leads you through Lacuna, Serein, and Pyre. Discover resonance puzzles, redirect beams of light, and face a guardian whose warning pulses test your timing. Earn new abilities as you explore. MAKE EACH EXPEDITION YOUR OWN Use the star chart to choose a destination. Walk and jump across alien landscapes, recover relics, then return to your ship and take off again. Follow the adventure or simply enjoy the journey. A NEON SPACE ESCAPE Explore vivid oceans, ice, and ember worlds beneath atmospheric skies, accompanied by an original spacey synth soundtrack. Music and sound effects have independent controls. BUILT FOR IPHONE AND IPAD Play in landscape with touch controls. Compatible game controllers are optional. No player account or internet connection is needed for gameplay. No ads. No in-app purchases. Progress and ships are saved locally on each device; there is no cross-device cloud sync.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Heliowake at none against Sorcerer Escape's shown. Sorcerer Escape's advantage is iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
