Gameplay
-
The gameplay of "The Helicopter Game" is rather simple. You only need a mouse to play it, and your helicopter will always move forward until it crashes. You have to hold the left mouse button to ascend, and let go to descend. The only catch is there are many obstacles in the way, including the terrain itself, and descending and ascending happens very quickly. In this way, the game is very challenging.
Visuals
-
Visually, "The Helicopter Game" is very simplistic. The landscape is green, and so are the obstacles. The helicopter is gray with blue windows, which contrasts the bland background nicely. The design of the area where you'll be flying is akin to a cave in that it has both a ceiling and floor which is almost never completely level or even. Floating objects are just plain rectangles in your path, so seeing them isn't as hard as avoiding them.
-
Sound
-
The engine of the helicopter gives a low rumble as you ascend, and goes silent as you descend. Effectively, ascending is obviously characterized by activating the engine, and descending is characterized by free-falling. Aside from that sound, there is the loud explosion when you crash. Though loud enough to frustrate you after you've failed, the explosion itself is low enough, even if your volume is at its highest, so that it won't annoy you each time.
'Sky Chopper'
-
"Sky Chopper" is the spiritual sequel to "The Helicopter Game," designed by the same website. This side-scrolling shooter is very different from the original game, which entails that the player simply try their best to make it as far along the path as possible. In this game, you'll be combating other enemy aircraft, and land-based vehicles in order to fight for your survival. Fans of "The Helicopter Game" may enjoy this sequel just as much as the original.
'Bump Copter'
-
This second sequel to the venerable original "The Helicopter Game" includes high scores on their leader boards, unlockables and the ability to download the game for free. As well as these new features, it allows players to choose from an easy, medium or hard difficulty, unlike its two predecessors. Gameplay is much more like the original game in that you'll have to navigate your helicopter across the screen while dodging obstacles. Unlike the original, this helicopter doesn't explode on contact, and there are levels rather than one continuous path. Fans of the original who would have preferred less difficulty will enjoy this title.
