I couldn't get the helicopter to fly more than a few blocks before running out of fuel though. If it's tick\/cycle based, then maybe I'm clocking too many FPS. I couldn't save anyone. :("},{"author_name":"raisedmedia","author_uid":"32069","time":"Dec 17, 2013 @ 12:47am","epoch":1387240920,"text":"Liked it, challenging."},{"author_name":"Masadow","author_uid":"22572","time":"Dec 17, 2013 @ 12:49am","epoch":1387241040,"text":"Nice game :)"},{"author_name":"bttf","author_uid":"30999","time":"Dec 17, 2013 @ 12:53am","epoch":1387241280,"text":"Graphics are awesome.

The graphics are nice, including the intro cutscene, the levels are solid and the way you implemented fuel made an extra challenge of trying to navigate in as few moves as possible. Nice touch with the screen shaking when landing.\r\rI bumped into the bug where I would spawn in weird places on a few levels, but pressing the restart button reset it properly after a try or two in most cases.\r\rOverall, well put together and nice little game."},{"author_name":"BitDemon","author_uid":"14783","time":"Dec 17, 2013 @ 11:53am","epoch":1387280880,"text":"Nice game.

I think the platforming-copter double personality opens the floor for some interesting stuff to be sure. You should polish this up, fix the bugs, and release a post-compo version with audio.

Its not ideal but pressing restart in the top right usually helps fix the issue.\r\n\r\nFuel, Although not a bug the fuel system is driven by the release of a directional key. Its not the best system but given the allotted amount of time it was the best I could come up with.\r\n\r\nThanks to everyone for the feedback!\r\n\r\nGoal: Save trapped civilians and navigate the terrain using both basic platforming skills and a helicopter.
