## What is iCopter?

Small copter. Big adventure.
The classic cave copter game, rebuilt from the ground up. Take flight through a beautiful, dangerous underground world in iCopter. Hold to climb, release to descend, and find your way past jagged rock, falling stalactites, drifting mines and bursts of flame. The controls are simple. Getting through in one piece takes a little more practice.
A CAVE FULL OF LIFE
Fly over wildflowers, ferns and mushrooms, brush through hanging vines, and disturb bats roosting overhead. Fireflies glow in the darkness, grass bends beneath your rotor wash, and petals scatter as you skim the cave floor. There's plenty to admire—just keep an eye on where you're going.
A LITTLE FIREPOWER HELPS
Collect shields, health and weapon pickups to turn a close call around. Send missiles towards a troublesome mine or light up the tunnel with lasers. Sometimes a careful touch is enough. Sometimes you need something that explodes.
THREE WAYS TO FLY
• Campaign: Take on 50 levels of cave-flying challenges.
• Daily Challenge: Fly a fresh cave each day with an assigned copter, and compete on the daily leaderboard.
• Endless: See how far you can go and chase your next high score.
EARN YOUR NEXT COPTER
Collect coins during your flights and spend them on new copters in the shop. Build your collection through play—no in-app purchases required.
Made for iPhone and iPad. No ads. No in-app purchases. Just you, your copter, and one more try.
The cave is calling.

### 1/5 — I copter tng

*2010-07-12*

Not bad for free. Pretty ok graphics. Little touchy. Worth a buck or so later down the road. Let's be honest. People need amusement and will complain about free stuff. Game ok. Thanks

### 2/5 — Great, but

*2010-05-13*

Controlls are a bit touchy, even on medium, but overall a great chopper game! Randomly generated levels, intuitive and accurate physics for a chopper, overall a good game!

Only 2 suggestions:
1) give a little more "give" to the speed/tilt controll
2) Facebook was awesome back in the day when it meant something (i.e. Being in college). But if you want to claim "post your scores online" then give me an in game leaderboard, not FB!!!

### 4/5 — so-so

*2010-05-13*

a little kinda boring, but still remain in my iPhone.
