You are the sole taxi helicopter service on these busy islands. Connect the citizens to their destinations on neighboring islands for sweet, sweet cash.
Inspired by games like Choplifter, Sim Copter, etc. Simple, silly, physics-y fun.
Controls WASD to move, Left Mouse Button for lift, and mouse to steer.

Really fun! I'm really impressed by how well the copter controls, seems like it'd be tricky thing to get right over a weekend. I played the game for a bit, but also had fun just cruising around, too.
Well done! Great physics and funny idea. The time I had to chase a boat for 50$ was really memorable. The only thing I miss is that I couldn't die no matter how hard I crashed. Good controls BTW.
A fantastic little game. I really like the target points mechanic, and the music and visuals really add to the mood of the piece. I have a real hard time landing on the boats. Madison Indies represent!
You had me at the title: LET'S MAKE SOME CRAZY MONEY! But seriously, you have no idea how relieved I was and how relaxed I became when I realized you can't crash into buildings. This was a real blast to play, and it's one of this round of LD games I'll come back to play again. Awesome work!
Nice game, really smooth and fun controls. It was actually kinda fun watching the helicopter spin wildly through the air. Good music too, I like how it sped up as time counted down. Nice take on the graphics, very minimalist but stylish.
This was great fun and a good execution of this type of game. The controls were suitably hard and the way through and required actions were easy to read and then do. Definately one of the most fun games out of this compo for me!
Really liked the art style and music here. Ended up with something like $120. I wish there'd been a little more clarity when someone was dropped off vs just a sound? Fun to fly around, though, and crazy taxi people :) I landed on the boat :)
Sweet music (even in last minute :), clear goal, nice gameplay. It reminded me of crazy taxi and the taxi mission on GTA. It made me laugh too when I could go from one island to the other flying in reverse hahaha. The one thing I could not understand is why some of the people did not get off the copter on the destination... I guess they liked how I fly! Great game!!
i would have liked the chopper shadow to be perhaps bit more "under the chopper" (like angle should have been so that sun is higher), to help landing on smaller boats.
i would have liked to see damage & crashing. now I could hit anything.
Now that's how to do a helicopter game! This plays very well indeed. The copter is very responsive and flies just about right. The game had a feel similar to the flying game in Wii Sports Resort, which is no bad thing. I hope that you do more with this as it has the making of a very good game.

Definitely needs a sandbox mode where you will be scored based on your "tricks" with the heli....like skateboarders in the air :)
