Touch and drag to fly. Hold to fire. Pick it up in five seconds, master it across 72 missions.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: BurstShoot at none against Skybreak's 3. BurstShoot also leads on ads (none vs shown). Skybreak's advantage is update cadence (every 2 days vs every 2 months). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
