Honestly a ton of fun! I really enjoy the graphics and the music. It makes feel a little nostalgic. It's best with a controller in my opinion. Easy to learn and fun to play!
Check out my game play of this awesome game!

The external, remote control perspective of this game brings to mind the old electro-mechanical arcade games of the '60s and early '70s like Midway's 'Whirlybird' or 'Chopper', only this game has vastly more depth and sophistication.
Once paired with a suitable gamepad (precise re-mapping of control inputs is currently restricted to the keyboard), the game really comes alive - bearing in mind that, like a real helicopter, the smooth co-ordination of the different controls is key to effective results.
A refreshingly enjoyable non-shoot-em-up arcade game and a bargain at the price. A big thumbs up.

Honestly, pretty nice. It's simple enough to be understood by anyone and it's great for casual play. The chopper is fun to fly and there's enough variation between the worlds to keep it interesting, but not too much that the game can't be perfectly mastered if you sit down and just do it. It's a good balance. Cool little game, cool project, good job.

charming and faithful remake of the classic helicopter save-em-up cyclone, with some well-designed quality of life improvements. collect the mystery crates and winch the stranded civilians to safety, while avoiding the deadly storm and other airborne hazards!
