I've only played this game for 24 minutes as of writing this review, but I've grasped the concept and am certain that I've experienced everything.
The Good
* Cute artstyle
* Unique control scheme
* Easy to learn, hard to master
* 50 levels
* Low price
* Survival mode that extends your playtime
The Bad
* Some achievements are pretty grindy, like buying all of the helicopters
* The hitbox seems to slightly bigger than the helicopter itself actually is.
It's a fun, cheap game. No regrets. I'll be playing this for a few hours in total most likely

Risky Rescue is a flight simulator (not the cool kind) where you control your helicopter and try to save all the victims before your AI (or other player) gets to them. Whoever rescues the most, gets the stars.
A lot of the levels are based off a time, too, even if you saved 4 of 5 people, you have to be under a certain amount AS WELL. On top of the 50 levels of varying risky rescues, you get Endless Mode where you save as many as you can with rockets, airplanes AND rising water coming for you!
It was actually pretty good, despite having to farm over 7,000 coins for purchasing the rest of the helicopters I hadn’t bought yet. It’s simple, move left or right, but FUN.
Good soundtrack, something that you didn’t really mind and weren’t so annoyed you turned it off. The effects of the rockets and planes was really nice – specially to avoid dying at the last second in Endless.
Even though the graphics are a bit ‘simple’, I really enjoyed them. All the details and small items were really entertaining and kept you interested.
And you can definitely replay this and by can, I mean you will. A LOT. But it’s still fun and feels rewarding when you smash your score in Endless.
I would recommend it if you want some challenge in your life, and maybe getting a friend to come play so you can show off your skills!

This game is enjoyable for the first hour or so, but it quickly becomes very repetitive. If you're looking to 100% it, you'll spend the majority of your time farming coins to buy all the helicopters, as completing all the main stages gives nowhere near enough coins.

The steam store listed it as local multiplayer but that is a lie. Thats the only reason I bought this game.

A very simple game, similar to many flash games I used to play at school. The controls are simple, but nothing innovative to them like they claim. Overall there is very little content, 50 levels of which you must do with bots or online/with friends, so the only real single player is the endless mode. The levels themselves are easy enough to 3 star, makiing the achievements relatively easy to get, except for one, which baffles me, you get about 20-30 gold per level complete with 3 stars, I'm not sure the exact scaling for it, but you need about 26000 gold for all the different choppers, which is absurd, I am currently grinidng endless mode to try to get this last acchievement jsut because I would feel weird leaving it unfinished, but the amount of time it's taking for the amount of content in the actual game is ludicrous to say the least. Luckily it's a cheap game, so you won't lose much if you play it outside of some time spent elsewhere. Overall it's a short simple waste of time if you have nothiing better to do, but there is nothing new or innovative here.

Another cheap, fun and easy to learn game. Risky Rescue is very casual and fun for an hour or so. A quick thrill for $1 is worth it if you just want to try something quick out. Plus it has steam cards. Worth the purchase, however it would be much better on mobile.

This game is beautiful, sounds gorgeously PC-Speaker like, it's **cheap as dirt** and YOU SHOULD PLAY IT. Pro-tip: in fact, it's more like a classic River Raid than UGH! or Space Taxi. Pure retro. Totally recommended.
P.S.The competitive vs BOT mode is not that bad actually. I kinda liked it as it kept the game going pretty well and the bot acts silly sometimes so it can even make you laugh - almost like with a real human player. I don't care whether this is as intended or not but far too many developers forget to emulate such behaviour when writing an AIs. Oh, and the BOT crashes himself with shame when you are ahead of him, rescuing the folks faster than he can ^^.

Any game that FORCES you into a publicly matched game is terrible. While there is an option to play with bots, it only works if you hit the button before the game automatically joins you to another human opponent.
I much prefer to play with bots, especially while I am trying to figure a game out.
