The Helicopter Game

Level: The Helicopter Game

Hey guys. Thought I'd try something a bit different with my newest level. After playing the the helicopter game (http://www.helicoptergame.net/) on the internet the other day I fancied trying my own LBP version!

Get in the copter and press R1 to fly up and let go to come down, the aim of the game is simple, to get to the end of the level!!

I participate in F4F so please state the level you want me to play and I'll give you some feedback!

Ok I tried this a few times and it was pretty fun I'd make the beginning a little easier because it gets hard fast. I think if the difficulty went up slowly, more users would stick around longer. It might also be a good idea to let people see the bubbles they are getting? But that might just be personal preference.

Besides that, awesome looking copter and awesome looking level, you really captured the feel of the original game. The copter controlls well too, if not a little slow... or maybe the copter is just too big? I'm not sure how the level was created but it might be really cool if the helicopter was a lot smaller. The way it is now is awesome too though! Good job!

5 stars and hearted so I can try to beat your highscore later!

Will definately look into this thanks.

Im quite a fan of not being able to see the points as you can probably tell from my most recent levels!

Have sped up those controlls and made the copter smaller, much better!!

Thanks for the feedback! I've made a few other improvements to the scoreboards ets and would be interested to hear any more comments anyone has!!

I'm trying this now as I type.

+I remember playing the same type of game as this years and years ago on the various home computers at the time, and I'm sure theres one on facebook. I liked it then, I still like it now
+ Looks retro in the two colours.
+ I like playing levels like this. Great to fill in a little time and go for a better score

Suggestions You could maybe have a hard and easy course. And perhaps make the score bubbles visible, and put more in hard to get places so players can chain them, it'll lead to a more diverse scoreboard.

All in all I enjoyed the level, I gave it 4 stars. It is a little easy though

My F4F level is in the sig. Its the third part of a series, I don't really need feedback on the first two they are done, but the story and events run right through them all, so I would recommended to play them. You may be a bit lost otherwise

I thought this was a really cool level. Quite tricky, but good fun. This led me to have a look at your other levels, and I thought 'Bad Weather' was supurb. Very impressive m8. I like your style.
