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.
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.
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.
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?).
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.
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!
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.
[Comments and ratings from this account come from various team members] 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.
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.
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!
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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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! =)

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.
Fun, simple, one-click gameplay. Very nice graphics.
Good graphics, I didn't hear any sound but perhaps they were faint? I keep my volume down past 50%.
Good job!

My HighScore was 1571 - Welcoming challengers.
I'm a big fan of helicopter-style games, so of course I'm drawn to things like this. Nice charming graphics, too.

Lol yea, I had to keep both hands on the spacebar or I couldn't really "feel" the motion right. Simple but great game ;)

Also I took the ads off my game, give it another shot!

Overall, really nice game :)

Cheers, and thanks for the game!
