What Makes Dustoff Heli Rescue: Air Force Stand Out
"I need a Dustoff!" became an all-too-familiar call on the airwaves of the jungle wars. Now take off with your rescue helicopter and search and save the life of the wounded soldiers in the field, often under fire. If you can't, nobody else can!
Find the stolen cargo with your Chinook helicopter and transport them safely to the nearby friendly base, all the while fighting off hostile tanks and other enemy combatants.
Save hostages being held in Prisoner of War camps. They are desperately waiting for the remarkable sound of the evac helicopters. You are their last hope so save them all!
Flying Dustoffs take courage on your part as a helicopter pilot, as ground fire is the rule rather than the exception. The rewards, however, are great.
MAIN FEATURES

- 3 rescue helicopters, each with different handling and transport characteristics

All in a well known blocky style.
100% kid friendly game: no man can be killed, enemies always run away.

Community Insight:
It is so fun us loveing history and helicopters we recommend you to get it.
Its been really fun and we hope there is game modes one could just be you driving a vehcile and upgrades as you progress like the helicopter whens there new missions we think of a new military era vietnam to modern to futuristic we know its a big expectation but its just a overall Idea anyways great game recommend.
Game so good but it was too good and we busted on our screen right when our mom walked in.
It blew us up and said we hit the ground and blew up.
So this game is cool and stuff but when you get on level hard rain it is pretty difficult plus when you die ads get in the way but it is good so far.
THERE ARE MORE ADS THEN PLAY TIME.
We want to like this game, we really do. Flying the helicopter is fun and a little challenging. However, heres the last sequence of closing an ad that caused us to quit and write this review. 1. Ad comes on, 5second timer expires, skip ad button comes on 2. We click the add. It instead takes us to the app ad download page. 3. We close out, there is ANOTHER 5second timer running. 4. Close it out, we can finally start the next 60 seconds of gameplay before repeating the process. Deleting this app five minutes after getting it because of the horrendous ads. Fix your app.
Its a good game but level 13 is hard the part at the end of the cave is hard we would give 5 star if easer.
We lost all our levels and vehicles. :(.
This is a fantastic game but there are way too many ads. If you win or lose you get an ad.
This game is awesome and while the controls can be a little difficult, we like the challenge. We dont like that there are adds every time you die but Rotherham than that. This game is great.
Ive played this game for 2 days great game. Their is one thing put Vietnam war music please.
It would be awesome if soldiers can Capture enemies and you can transport The captured enemy in Your Helicopter.
This game does need a update about the guns if we can shoot like Semi-gun it will be awesome.
We loved this game back then and we still love it and this person in the reviews says its bad…. THERE WRONG.
Hay u should mak a ww2 version but with planes instead or any other kinds of ships like the nazis has a helicopter and they even had cool planes but also make the Americans but just saying because you should after making this cuz its fun.
We LOVE THIS GAME. We SAW THIS GAME ON BEST BUY AND THOUGHT IT WAS COOL LIKE 5 YEARS AGO.PROPS TO THE DEVELOPERS.
Love this game, our 7 yr old grandson is doing better then us. Cant wait for more challenges.
This game is great but if you could turn down the difficulty that would be awesome.
Was playing this game when we noticed several problems. The guns are always in a turret position on the bottom of the helicopter instead of a door gunner position like the were actually used. Second, the helicopters had two pilots. Other than that great game.
At first, this game was AMAZING, but when we unlocked the third helicopter, we HAD TO PAY MONEY!!!!! This game is forever ruined! We hope you enjoy our feedback! :).
So the game is fun and we have memorys about this game but why cant we get the helicopters or the weapons for the helicopters and says to buy them like can we get it for free.
We need more levels, we beet the game in 1 day. Please give us more levels at least 50.
Around 3-4 years ago, we were in love with this game. Just the right amount of challenge and a good variety of weapons and helicopters to choose from. Then about after a year of playing, an update released. We updated it, excited thinking that added new levels, and boom. All progress gone. All helicopters gone. All weapons gone. We went to re-install the weapons and helis and found that you had to pay for them. We were pretty much crushed. We came back today to see if they re-made it free 2 play, and no.
Every time you die or win you get hit in the face with a ad and its super annoying and helicopters and weapons you have to pay for them its mostly a cash grab but the rest of the game is fun if you ignore it.
So, on level 12, we flew up but then our helicopter just blew up!? (No, the was no flak, this happened above the base.).
Way too many ads & no way to purchase the ability to shut them off.
The game is fun but until it became a pay to win because instead of completing levels to have new helicopters you can only have 1 or 2 to play with because youd have to pay for the other helicopters.
Stop THE ADS THERE SOOOO INOYING every time we die we get the add.
We gladly paid $.99 to unlock the first helicopter upgrade and remove ads. Now Ive reached the level where Im supposed to have unlocked the second helicopter upgrade, but we cant use it unless we pay more. Iwould have paid more at the beginning, but now that we can see the developers deceitful approach, we will not e giving them another dime. We feel like we were tricked out of the first $.99.
This is one of those games that has an awesome idea but absolutely god awful execution.
Why is there just 2 helicopters in the game?At least we wouldnt mind if we had to watch ad for a helicopter but just 2!!!!!! Creators you better fix it or if not add currency.
We bought the 2 dollar thing and it says we dont have it the game also has To many ads.
Very great game to past time except for the fact that you can only unlock have the game without paying for it. It was so much better when it was all free that why we could enjoy the whole game. Used to be good.
Fun game, but if you make a in app purchase it forgets it. Restore purchase is useless. We worked our way to the sky crane, then it will not let us use it. Prompts us to buy now and end adds.
It's fun and it's lasted over ten minutes on our iPad. Easy to play, fun, cool simple graphics.
Truly a work of art!!!! The passion and attention to detail (too and including the sound effects) shows through. It's got a ridiculously high fun-factor, made clear by the multiple hours we've lost playing it. Most appreciated.
Isn't this the most coolest game ever? Come on guys.. Come on.. Give a warm applause to the developers here.. Notice that the kids complaining here are just doing so because they feel heart broken, Like they have seen a "girlfriend they are in love with kiss another boy. But we understand, we fell in love with this game since the first time too. We play the game with the control mode set to pro, and to us is more than a game, it's an experience. Tapping our way trough the life and death struggle of getting to your Lego blocky comrades and lift them out of harm and returning them back safe without becoming a casualty our self. The game's formula comes together wonderfully, including here the controls Which makes it so exiting to fly the copter And anything is possible with skill. Thank you bevelopers for such a cool experience.
We've never taken the time to write a review, but we tried this silly looking game out and smh, this dam game is Hot, the weapons choices could be better but they're actually good enough, plus if you like flying the Handling in this game is on Point!!! Who ever made this game please keep making them, luv the Concept.
Cool add more helicopters and guns.
This is an awesome, no guts, blood, or death shoot-em'-up game! Great in almost every way, but you have to pay to unlock the Rocket, TOW, Chinook, and Skycrane. Why can't we just watch videos, like the rest of them? There aren't AS many ads as some say, but there are still some. Could use some more missions, too; we were so addicted we completed them all! Overall, though, a great game.
These lil dudes are so .. Forgive us… Cartoon cute the whole gameplay rocks…. The artwork is really clever… Ours crafty but cooler.
Ok. Right off the bat, we gotta hand it to you. It's pretty addicting. However, we used to watch an ad to get a helicopter (which gives you, the developer, money) but now that we got up to the Chinook helicopter, we HAVE to buy it to own it (even though you would still make money off of an ad). Please listen. We love this game and other games that you make, but we don't really like making in-app purchases, neither does anybody else. Plus, you will get money in the end either way. Otherwise, this game is so addicting that we sometimes forget to our homework for middle school. :) ( ).
We just got this game and the game play is fun. But at least 1/3 of our time spent in the game is dealing with ads. Too bad. Im not keeping this.
The 20-30 second ads after EVERY single run get very exhausting. Its almost like you watch more ads than spend time playing. Most games like this would get ads with at least a skip option. Idk what happened to the app store honestly, now its just a bunch of garbage that doesnt keep your attention whatsoever.
Gameplay is great. Terrible disruptive ads that ruin game flow. Fast heal is the only way to achieve time-sensitive medals at higher levels. Sadly this means copious amounts of ads. At higher levels damage is more frequent so ads are more frequent. Uninstalling after 16 levels completed. Won't download Dustoff 2. You guys almost had something there but greed has done you in.
We downloaded the game and was hit with a bunch of ads while we play the game. We've been paid for a $.99 upgrade that was billed as removing ads. However we're still seeing all kinds of ads that disrupt the gameplay. This game would be really solid if they weren't so heavy-handed about monetizing with ads.
Really this is a giant ad filled with a minute of gameplay here or there. What could be a fun game isnt. If you, as a game developer, can only survive by constantly showing ads in your game, then maybe you should find other work. Good luck.
Was good and had everything unlocked. Now you have to pay to use what you had before. Dont waste your time. Developer only wants money.
Game is garbage now and used to be one of our favorites.
