Great physics and funny idea. The time I had to chase a boat for 50$ was really memorable. The only thing I miss is that I couldn't die no matter how hard I crashed. Good controls BTW."},{"author_name":"Maxium","author_uid":"13926","time":"Aug 26, 2014 @ 1:19am","epoch":1409015640,"text":"A fantastic little game. I really like the target points mechanic, and the music and visuals really add to the mood of the piece. I have a real hard time landing on the boats.

But seriously, you have no idea how relieved I was and how relaxed I became when I realized you can't crash into buildings. This was a real blast to play, and it's one of this round of LD games I'll come back to play again. Awesome work!"},{"author_name":"nesis","author_uid":"2726","time":"Aug 27, 2014 @ 6:38am","epoch":1409121180,"text":"Nice game, really smooth and fun controls.

The controls were suitably hard and the way through and required actions were easy to read and then do.

Ended up with something like $120.  I wish there'd been a little more clarity when someone was dropped off vs just a sound? Fun to fly around, though, and crazy taxi people :) I landed on the boat :)"},{"author_name":"Scott Baker","author_uid":"11823","time":"Aug 30, 2014 @ 6:21pm","epoch":1409422560,"text":"Choplifter!!!!

It reminded me of crazy taxi and the taxi mission on GTA. It made me laugh too when I could go from one island to the other flying in reverse hahaha. The one thing I could not understand is why some of the people did not get off the copter on the destination... I guess they liked how I fly! Great game!!"},{"author_name":"Andrew Adams","author_uid":"20321","time":"Aug 31, 2014 @ 2:58am","epoch":1409453580,"text":"Great!

This plays very well indeed. The copter is very responsive and flies just about right. The game had a feel similar to the flying game in Wii Sports Resort, which is no bad thing.
