Community Insight:
We love this game it is sooooooo entertaining and NO ADS you can not just save people with helicopters and boats but you can also survive to the end we really want a multiplayer mode update but its on anniversary update still 5 stars though.
This is a really fun helicopter rescue game. Are there any plans to update the game.
We love this game so much Im saving money for the helicopter Golden because we love so much can you get an update for more awesome helicopters.
We have played for a few hours and we enjoy the challenge as well as most of the gameplay the only part of the game we would want to change if we could would be the dumb birds, the birds are annoying, otherwise this game is great.
It is what it is. More information on how to play would be helpful.
In app purchases do not remove ads at all!!!! Ive purchased 2 different choppers and still get ads popping up. Never got the coins they say come with it. Or anything else.
We purchased the heavy chopper and the price showed 0.99, but cant figure out how we were charged just under 10$. Also the ads did not go away.
Cant play unless you allow them access to your personal data.
Cool but we do not know what we are supposed to do with the challenges and which helicopter is the best.Plus it needs more game modes or obstacles.
This is an amazing game (and we're kind of addicted to it) but it has its flaws… Things to fix: 1. During (and after) a survival mode game there is no GUI… Which means that after the game it is just a blank screen and during the game there is no joystick or pause button, this can easily be fixed by double clicking the home button, swiping the game and re-entering. 2. After playing an ad (video part) it goes to a blank white screen and you are unable to do anything on screen, this can be fixed the same way as #1. There are probably more flaws but these are the flaws that we found.
Loads, then when ready – no chopper. Just sits.
They ask for personal data so they can "improve gameplay". How are you going to improve gameplay with our name, search preferences and credit card number?! If you don't accept it, you get kicked out of the game. Do NOT download! They will take your personal information without consent! We would give less then 1 star if we could.
Make it easier to get coins please.
All you have to do to control your chopper more easily is drag your finger around the screen to make your helicopter go where you want it to go! Also, this game is not racist! In fact the second map (desert) is favorite! Recommend buying when you have the chance. Overall, this game is very fun (if you follow our steps) and, if you are reading this, DOWNLOAD IT NOW! Happy flying.
We love this game 10/10 MUST GET.
Fun game, don't waste your money on the flying saucer though its useless.
The second map is about Middle East countries are having a war. In fact, they are not. Also the gulf people's outfit ,which is good but this is showing a bad attitude.
This game is great but without the lag and crashes this would be a perfect game.
This is our favorite game we love the pixel graphics and well everything about the game but u should add guns and be able to get off the helicopter.
People should make more games like this it is amazing.
So great and addictive got to get an APALACHEE with all the things so fast and reckless dont care if we crash or dismember humans.
This is a really fun game and we enjoy playing it. The choppa is very addicting.
It has good quality and very fun.
This game is a great coping skill and time killer we play it on our way to school and sometimes during class it's great thank you so much.
We just gotta say when ever we get stressed we play this game xd.
We love this game a lot. Just wish coins where easier to get and more options on the controls it's hard to understand but we got used to it. Also, some of the levels need to be work out because you can't get threw some of them. Other than that we love the game.
Controls are impractical for a touchscreen, can't see where we're going at times. Needs control options. Looks good, plays bad.
Touching on different spots in the screen is different but not intuitive. Uninstalled.
Feels like a 1990's console game, addicting and challenging auto-generated levels. Great soundtrack too.
It can get addictive. Earning money is hard, but the core gameplay is enjoyable. There is some skill involved and patience.
The game is good, but we found one HUGE problem. We got to lvl 12 (our highest) and couldn't continue. The level was impassable with any helicopter, just a tiny little hole to pass through smaller then a person. So, it was physically impossible to beat the level. Plz fix.
We really like the game and play it all of the time. When we saw the new desert world thing, we got excited and saved up 500 coins immediately. When we saw the world we really didn't like the world and thought it was a waste of our time. We think u should make the world better by making it flat and harder to move around, and add more world's, like swamp, amusement park (stuck on ride) and other things.
Great game overall. Time killer, free game, not any ads really. It passes with flying colors on our game testing. (On a side note, we do agree with Casjr. Plz add weapons!!!! Thx great game good job.
Great game. Good action. Requires enough skill that you need to improve to keep going. Lots of different choppers to earn; lots of modifications for them. NO FIGHTING THE CLOCK, which we like.
Great game with good graphics and physics, the levels get a little bit repetitive though.
This game is awesome with simple controls. PLEASE ADD a create your own level. Also we think that once you get to higher levels there should be more people to save per stage.
It has to be the best mobile game we have ever played.
The game is awesome – we're very glad we downloaded it!! May we suggest, however, that the next upgrade include weaponized choppers. (For those pesky seagulls, drones, and automated missile launchers) May we also suggest that controls for the iPad (we have a non-mini iPad) be perhaps designated to one side of the screen (maybe up,down, left, right, controls or a virtual joy/analog stick); because we'd love to play this game on our iPad (we've tried lol) but the way the controls are in the game makes it hard/impossible to effectively control the chopper due to the the large size of our iPad screen (we're sure other players have this problem too) Thanks for reading this game creators.
We usually don't rate apps, but we had to give this one the recognition it deserves. It's so refreshing to see a free game that doesn't make you wait an hour for a minute of gameplay. Another HUGE bonus for this game is that it doesn't need Internet. Keep up the great work.
We love this game. We have one problem though. We got this game right when it came out (before the first update) and loved it. But after the update everything was WAY too expensive. The choppers are decently priced, but upgrades cost too much. It takes too long to earn the money. In our opinion, a decrease in upgrade costs or more earnable money per level would be fantastic. Thanks.
We hate mobile games. We hate them all. Except this game. (and drive ahead. That's good too) this game doesn't disgust us and make us delete it right away. Also, the recent update made the framerate amazing! It runs really smooth now. Thanks for that :3.
Great game but it crashes and you lose all money earned since last restart. We can't even get through a full 10 mins of coin doubler buff without a crash.
We saved up 1000 coins for this thing and people fly out of it for no reason, can't collect coin boxes easily anymore, and things get sucked up and kill us. If you guys fix this five star game.
This game has been a favorite since the 80s but the controls on this are just jacked – you need to have your hands all over the screen and can't see anything! Tilt controls, please – game shows promise.
Love control and upgrade system more heilcoptor would be nice but overall great game.
This game is fun but it s very Grindy and if you're bad like us it takes a long time to get new helis.
Love this game!!! Needs more choppers and different levels. Great game play. Add more side quests.
It's a really addicting game but after like, stage 10 the obstacles are the same and the levels are the same and it just gets a little boring. Other than that it's a great game.
Sooooo much fun! We love this game. You should definitely try it at least once.
Needs more levels but otherwise it is fabulous:).
