Awesome 2 hour game. I came to 2nd level and felt very satisfied when i could serial copter kill the men. i Feel this game should reward negative points. 10710 would rotocopter again
Foon → Ludum Dare Explorer → LD40 → HELIRESCUE MENS

Enjoyed this!
My only criticism: when I try to save take more than one person, they almost immediately die because they touch the ground. Maybe leave a bit more wiggle room?
Nice game! I found myself switching between killing and saving the little pixel men. Sometimes I just crash the copter because what the hell.
It's super fun, and extremely hard. I couldn't save one single person. I was super close but I need to be more patient.
Really really hard. I got 2500 score at best. I was more skilled at killing people and fly into stuff than doing anything at all looking like rescue. It was fun though. Great game for that short time developing.
Extremely fun game for just 2 hours
id didi a good job killing all those poror oleopl,
But yeah, that was cute. Polish would be nice, but hey! When you got two hours, you got two hours!
A little hard, but overall a fun game. As has been mentioned before, a bit more wiggle room would have been nice. But 2 hours? Wow!
That was interesting, and really good for 2 hours. Frustratingly hard is the best kind of hard.
Gotta say, the game was very fun to play. I wish there was an ambient bgm (play around with audiosauna.com/studio; may be useful). The sfx were all well placed. Controls were a little unwieldy at times but not to the point where it was too hard to play. Arguably, past level 3 though, it required either high precision or lots of patience. Not sure if that was desired but it made it feel tedious after that point. Level progress determination was unclear but I assumed it was until all people were not on the screen anymore (dead or saved).
Wow 2 hours great job! I will definitively not be a helicopter pilot. Tons of crashes.
I really enjoy the game. Nicely done.
Pretty fun game for something done in 2 hours, and particularly challenging too.
Really great game for just two hours. Hell, good game for 2 days even!
The helicopter crash is so oddly satisfying I definitely took an extra couple of minutes to just smash into stuff once I rescued (smooshed) everyone.
Can't believe that was a 2 hour game. It's sooooooooo hard. Best i did was 1100. I kept killing like everyone. "wait your turn, wait your turn WAIT YOUR TURRRRNNN" splat splat as everyone tries to get out of vietnam. or blockland. Whatever this place is. xD i couldn't believe if you overfilled your heli, it got HARDER to fly. I was shocked. xD
Very nice feel to the game, truly feels like an old arcade unit. Brutally difficult controls.
That's a pretty fun game for only spending 2 hours on it :) Its simple enough to understand right away, but challenging enough to make it fun. One thing you might consider changing is how you can slide along the edges of the level without exploding. I could use that to stabilize the helicopter and sometimes get to difficult parts of the level reliably/easily. Though maybe that's a crutch that you need sometimes because otherwise some levels may be super difficult :P. Also maybe you should consider adding controller support (if it isn't there already). The gradual input of an analog stick would feel nicer than the hard wasd keys (no more key tapping to make gradual adjustments).
Great job though! Fun and unique.
I think I found a bug. If you pick up all the remaining mens but then crash your helicopter, then your helicopter will respawn on the same level but there won't be any mens left on the map. So you won't be able to progress to the next level.
Apart from that - a very good game. I'd never have guessed it was done in two hours!
Thanks @ptsnoop but it's not a bug with the game logic, it's a bug with me not communicating clearly that you need to be landed on the pad to end the level :)
Good job for a 2 hours game ! The 1hgj trainings are useful I guess :) It was really hard and frustrating at first, but with some perseverence (and some days between ragequits) i could reach level 3 and score 4000. I think with some more patience I could beat this level, but controls are very sharp and the challenge is hard :p I had to exploit the famous helirescopters screen edge stabilizing power to get there. Good interpretation of the theme by your baby and really good for something made in 2 hours. BTW did you try @pkenney game ? Kind of a similar concept without masochism XD . Cheers !
Very challenging and hard game, requires lots of patience. I died so many times, and could only get to Level 3 I think. :D Great game, congrats! :)
