Controls were damn near impossible (not being able to push two keys at the same time really caused me troubles). Also, ran way too fast on my normal machines. Had to go find an old one to be able to play it at all.
It ran way to fast to be really playable for me, so I couldn't beat the first level (hence didn't judge completeness) Gave it a 3 for fun based on the fact that I found myself WISHING it wasn't so fast, so I could play properly. Sortof Choplifter-meets-Lunar Lander
Ran way way way too fast for me to be able to control the helicopter. Even tried playing it with things clogging up my system to make it slower, but it was then just too jerky on accepting input to play :( Have had to leave a few N/As in my voting because of that.
Wow, it's fast! Too fast to play on my machine...but, the idea looks good. Nice title screen and instructions (although the instruction screen should probably mention arrow keys and space bar).
Gameplay is a little simple - having something else to watch out for (falling bombs, an enemy plane) might be nice. I like the blue color oozing up the buildings.
Reminds me of old Krakatoa game on the Spectrum... Couldn't play it, really... It was too god-damn fast... Couldn't land (always crashed because of the speed issue), so I couldn't really judge how fun it was...
The idea is nice, the look is very good. Somethings wrong with the speed and/or the controls. The helicopter falls too fast, i couldn't land on one of the sky scrapers at all.
Haaaaaaaaaaard game. It went very fast and I only managed to rescue a single person, even though i tried many many times. Is this due to timing issues mentioned in desc.? (Got an Athlon 2200, gf fx5200, 512 mb ram). Nice idea though, kind of like moon lander.
reminded me of an old C64 game called fort apocalypse or atari choplifter. graphics and screens look very polished. my only big gripe is the controls were too hard for me, so I didn't play too long because I kept crashing.
Would be big fun if only the controls weren't screwed. My favourite move is exploding the heli by pulling down before having taken off ;)

Way too fast to be playable, but you know that. The idea is hardly inspired and there is only a tenuous link to the theme. Can't really comment any further because it's unplayable in it's current state.
