Choppy Rescue by Guisado

[raw]
made by Guisado for Ludum Dare 49 (COMPO)

Fly a helicopter! Be careful with the weather! Save people!

What else could you possibly want?

🎮 Controls 🎮

  • WS -> Power
  • AD/⬅➡ -> Roll
  • QE -> Yaw
  • ⬆⬇ -> Pitch

🎭🦦 PLAY IT ON YOUR BROWSER NOW 🦦🎭

Based on the theme, my main idea was to make it hard to fly the helicopter because the weather is too unstable and changes rapidly - therefore also making your helicopter unstable :)

ps: I totally forgot about audio also being an asset I had to make so I opted out of it since I used free sounds. Making this clear so no one gets mad at me :pray:

Hey, nice entry! Flying the copter feels really nice after a few attempts.

At first, I thought that the copter itself was the "unstable" thing in the game, and didn't realise that you added weather (people don't read :p) Some visual feedback for the weather would have been a nice touch.

I think that the game was a bit too difficult ; landing once is already not easy, and then you see that you can only carry 4 people... I didn't manage to make more than 1 travel...

The sound effects are nice, a music track would have been great.

Good job!

THIS HELICOPTER IS UNCONTROLLABLE :smile:
Especially when trying to land on a mountain top! Its a fitting game for the jam and I like what you did there. You have an amazing start screen but the play again screen is a bit boring in comparison. I like the art style but wish for 2-3 more assets in the world. The interface is great but misses the wind direction and weather effects. All in all a great game you can be proud of yourself!

After few attempts I finally picked up some people... and crashed 2 meters from the helipad. They would be safer without me trying to save them :smile:. Nice game.

See. Fyling a helicopter is easy. You press a few button. Adjust the power, roll, yaw, picth and then you crush. Easy :P

Now a little more serious. Cool game. The flying mechanic is challenging, but after 2-3 attempts I managed to save some people. Good job on the game.

This game looks great! I really couldn't get very far with how difficult the controls are, but I appreciate all the details like the 3D HUD elements, the instructions screen, and the scenery. I do appreciate that the helo has some structural integrity and doesn't blow up at the slightest bump (otherwise I'd be doomed). Nice job!
