Simple, but well made. Maybe something could be added to make it more interesting. Good job though.

Thanks for the feedback!
I agree that it could use some more elements and I have a lot of ideas for things to add... I just didn't get it all in yet.
I've played countless games like this; the 3d is extremely well done though. Wasn't able to finish.
I love a simple game! Awesome job! The only way it could be improved is with some music really.
A well done version of helicopter, though some sound would have been appreciated :)
Visually attractive, and overall very simple. But, I liked it. The sounds effects helped build a little mood at least. Good work! :)
Simple but cool, always fun to play such games. Moving vines would have been fun ;p
Simple, but well done - good job. I like how the slant to the camera gives a sense of anticipation :P Not too sure about how it relates to the theme, but still - good job.
Release it for Android. NOW! :)
Fun, simple, one-click gameplay. Very nice graphics.
Cool! Simple gameplay, but I really like the perspective, and the feeling of the control is really nice. Great work.
although the concept isn't new, you pulled it off smoothly and i really like the style of the 2D/3D aspect. nice submission.
Would seriously make a good kids game for an android tablet! Obviously the game's been done, but this is a fun implementation, and well executed!!
Good graphics, I didn't hear any sound but perhaps they were faint? I keep my volume down past 50%.
Good job!
Thanks for all the great feedback! There should be sound... maybe I didn't have it loud enough--I didn't want it to be overpowering.
Typical helicopter mechanic, but very well made. Loved the graphics, and the way the camera returns all the way on restarting. The audio was almost inaudible. But still great work guys =)
Neat game - very nice looking. As others have said, the gameplay is too simple to be engaging for long (although things like Temple Runner aren't much more complex), but it's really well-made and very polished. The music is cool, too.
Congratulations on your first Ludum Dare! This game is a lot of fun and always leaves me with a strong desire to play again and see if I can get that bit further :) The sounds were very feint but otherwise I think it achieves everything it tries to do very well.
Solid entry with nice graphics and sound, but the game play is quite simple. Overall good though :-)
Simple and well executed but a tad boring. Would love to see some power ups. Nice graphics!
Very nicely executed. Simple but entertaining.
Nice take on this genre. Great cam use, especially on the retry (like how it flew back to start).
Small Bug: High Score starts at 1000
My HighScore was 1571 - Welcoming challengers.
A nice crisp remake of the classic worm/helicopter game everyone loves! Would have been nice to see a little something added to the gameplay like others have said, but the controls are perfect and the graphics are charming.
derrickdool: 1589! :D
I'm a big fan of helicopter-style games, so of course I'm drawn to things like this. Nice charming graphics, too.
Haha! This is great! Finally, a one-button entry! Sometimes less is more! A great game to switch up all the other entries. Thanks!
Quite nice! Add a few more elements and you've got yourself a great mobile game ;)
one hand on each end of the spacebar like the pencil across the buttons on track and field back in the day! :D
Good graphics, fun gameplay, but it could use something more!
1437
@Kharza
Lol yea, I had to keep both hands on the spacebar or I couldn't really "feel" the motion right. Simple but great game ;)
Nice graphics and floating menus, just wish it was random generated :)
Looks cool but can't play the unity web player ones, they still don't have a plugin for linux.
Simple and sweet, fun to play. And very nice graphics!
Cute take on the helicopter genre of games. I wonder how it ends!
It's a typical helicopter game but I really think the 3D adds a nice touch and was very well executed. I especially like how it zooms back to the start when you die. The only problems I had were no sound and after dying pressing Enter instead of Space to restart (maybe it could be Space after a slight delay to see the score?).
Polished! Responsive! Great graphics!
I'd have played for longer, but my browser keeps popping up "webpage is not responding" prompts with Unity player. This happens to me too in Java if I don't do threading right, but I suspect it's out of your hands with Unity, which is frustrating.
Simple gameplay but well done! Played this a bunch.
I like how you setup the camera, nice mix of 2d and 3d. Also good work on menus, congrats on your first dare, well done.
Great game! Loved the camera movement - just perfect. I hope you have a Android/iOS Unity license! :)
Nice implementation of the helicopter game. I think the 3D looks really good, too.
Also I took the ads off my game, give it another shot!
In a way it's a shame that this is an even simpler version of an extremely simple game. But I like helicopter so much this is still fun.
Agh, it's just like those Donkey Kong Country Returns levels I hate so much, except this has better controlling, so way to go! :D I really like how when you die the camera points back to the start showing how far you've come, nice touch.
1623 was my best score!
Simple, fun, well rounded. Nothing revolutionary, but there doesn't need to be. A joy to play.
Simple but nice. a solid concept that follows through well :)
Nice little flying game, there wasn't really anything mind blowing but it was very well done.
A polished version of the helicopter game we all know and love. The music could use some more volume but otherwise it was good.
I'll repeat all the good things said earlier,
strong entry,simple but well done
like a 3D version of copter, would be really cool if it was randomly generated, and maybe had bees attacking you or something.
osom mini game der. really cool graphics and smooth gameplay!
1206. Is that music original?
Thanks very much. I hope to add more elements to the game after the voting is over.
@jeffz the music is original. I used cgMusic to generate midi and then Garage Band to render it out to an mp3 with decent instruments.

1633! Simple but fun. Took a couple of deaths to get used to the controls but they fit really well with the ladybug! Quite a solid game. Simple, yet effective.
Fun take on helicopter. I enjoyed the camera transitions back to the beginning upon death.
Addicting little runner. Nice work!
Fun variation on helicopter. I think it would have worked better in straight 2D, though.
Well written game. A bit boring after first 500 points, with some other kind of obstacles like enemies or bigger spikes could be more fun.
Nicely done gfx. (retry camera is cool) I usually expect this kind of game to be randomly generated, but I guess this way comparing scores is more meaningful.
Surprisingly good!! Not innovative but very well made. Nice job here.
Brilliant graphics and well made. Controls are nice, would well on a touch device
Very simple but addictive! Well done :)
Nice solid looking and feeling game :).
I enjoy these kinds of games, I remember playing one with a helicopter. The concept is great, and the ladybug and thorny vines are beautifully depicted. I also love the camera movement back to the beginning. Great job!
Simple but fun game! Well done.
Fun, neat and very simple! I guess some mechanics could be added to make it a little more complex such as obstacles, but the consistency of what you got made make up for that. Good job!
That was really fun! Nice graphics, simple game mechanic, well polished and a lot of fun. My highscore was 1521.
Overall, really nice game :)
Simple and fun, although not terribly original. Could use some more variation in the map. Nice graphics and looks polished.
Thanks everyone! I hope to add some more to it soon.
Classic game with modern graphics. Not something I'm into, but very nicely done.
A complete package! I liked the overall impression. Get this to Android and iOs, I heard ppl like 1-Button-Games :)
Simple and well-made. I loved how forgiving it was with its hit detection. Graphics were effective too. The main sprite is awesome as it should!
This rather "simple" idea works pretty well. I liked the controls and the progressing difficulty. The visuals are also pretty great.
Some sound would have been good.
Lots of fun, very addictive! Also, the game feels very smooth, great job with that.
A simple but very entertaining control mechanic! Nice work!
It has charming visuals and merry-go-round soundtrack. A simple yet very competent one-button game that provided challenge! Well done!
Excellent game.
It took me 3 tries to get used to the controls, but once done, I enjoyed it a lot. Very smooth movement and great camera setup and following. Thanks!
Simple, yet fun. Lovely music.
Nice job on making a really simple quick game. Super fun for about a minute or so. Would have loved to see something that extended it or made it longer, but I thought it was well polished.
Thanks again for all the feedback everyone.
1133! Fun game. I can only suggest to put scatter some coins for challenge :)
Nice and polished. You should have been made the variable Z coordinate so it looks like real 3D. Or just real 3D.
I have to say I'm impressed. The game feels complete and polished, and is fun to play. Great first LD :)
Nice little game! Graphics are good and it's very polished! Good work!
Delightful visuals. Nice simple game.
Thanks!
I can't play your game because I don't have Windows nor OS/X and this means that I can't install Unity player. Perhaps another member of my team will find and rate your game.

Lookin' good. Simple design, not that themey, but nice.
I like it! I played few times and made score 1203. ;) Good job!
Really well done. The art and animation looks great.
Very nice little game, I liked it a lot. It is fun to play, and quick to get into. Loved the small graphic tricks you did, like the transition from game over to new game.
A few things you could make to improve the game: Add some background! Maybe some leaves, some animal cameos -- maybe if you make a huge tree model and make the "track" go around it -- would make a big difference to the game.
Cheers, and thanks for the game!
Very nice! When's the iPhone version coming out?
Fun little game - would've benefited from some element of randomness though.
Nice game! Very simple, but funny and doesn't need a lot of thinking (which is very good sometimes). I just wished you had time to put on some power ups or something. Anyway, good work! =)
