You don't fly the jet. You out-think the pilot. Welcome to Heat Seekers, the online PvP air combat game where every turn is a silent bet against a real opponent. Time freezes. You draw the path of each fighter in your squadron. They do the same, and you can't see a thing. Then both squadrons fly at the exact same second — and three seconds later, someone is falling into the ocean. No twitch reflexes. Pure nerve and prediction. REAL PLAYERS. REAL DUELS. ZERO MERCY Face live opponents in ranked PvP battles. You never see their plan. They never see yours. Hit End Turn and both sides execute simultaneously — engines roaring, trajectories crossing, cannons opening up the instant a target slides into a firing cone. Every turn is a reveal. Every reveal is a verdict. Matches last 3 to 5 minutes, and every single one is against someone trying to read you exactly as hard as you're reading them. DRAW IT, LOCK IT, WATCH IT BURN Drag from each aircraft to trace its next maneuver — long drag for raw speed and a wide turn, short drag for a tight, slow corner. The game turns your finger into a real flight path: no impossible turns, no sideways slides, no cheating physics. One finger, a few seconds, and your orders are sealed. THE GUNS DO THE SHOOTING. YOU DO THE HUNTING Weapons fire automatically the moment range, angle and cooldown line up. Your job isn't to aim — it's to own the space, get on their six, and drag them into an arc they can't escape. Slide behind an enemy and the kill is already written. PLAY YOUR CARDS Every turn you can spend a maneuver on top of your flight path. Fire a heat-seeking MISSILE and watch it hunt. Dump FLARES to break the lock. JAM their guidance. Slam the BOOST to overshoot their arc, hit the BRAKE to make them fly right past you, or BARREL ROLL out of a tracer stream. Read your opponent, counter, and punish. BUILD YOUR SQUADRON Unlock and mix aircraft classes in the hangar. The Light turns on a coin. The Medium does everything well. The Heavy soaks damage and hits like a wall. Earn dollars, open new squadron slots and grow the fight from a tense 1v1 duel all the way to full 4v4 formations — every new slot changes the entire shape of the battle. FROM ROOKIE TO ACE Ten ranks. One thousand trophies. Climb from ROOKIE through SERGEANT, CAPTAIN, COLONEL, MARSHAL — all the way to ACE, the ceiling with nothing above it. Matchmaking puts you against players at your level, and the VS screen tells you exactly who you're up against before the first engine spools up. Features: Online PvP — ranked duels against real players Simultaneous turn-based dogfights: easy to plan, brutal to master Draw-a-path controls built for one thumb Real flight constraints: inertia, turn radius, speed vs maneuverability Heat-seeking missiles, flares and jamming — action and counter-action Light, Medium and Heavy fighters to unlock and combine 1v1, 2v2, 3v3 and 4v4 formats as your squadron grows Ranked ladder from Rookie to Ace Fast 3-to-5 minute matches, perfect on the go Free to play Plan it. Commit it. Watch them fall. Download Heat Seekers now and take the sky.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Heat at Free against Spacecom's $3.99. Spacecom's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (6.0 vs 15.0). On in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
