About

Helicopter Game

Features
Read full description

Cave Helicopter drops you into an endless, collapsing cavern with nothing but a single control: drag anywhere on screen to steer, release to hold your line. There's no engine to manage and no altitude bar to watch just you, the rock, and how close you're willing to fly. THE CLOSER, THE BETTER Score isn't just about distance. Graze a rock โ€” skim past it without touching โ€” and you bank a scoring multiplier. Play it safe down the middle and you'll survive longer but score less. Hug the danger and the run is worth more, right up until it isn't. THE CAVE FIGHTS BACK The tunnel doesn't sit still. Rocks grow larger the longer you survive, gaps narrow into tight pinch corridors, and the cave escalates through distinct zones โ€” from the Shallows into the Drift, the Walls, and finally the Deep โ€” each one faster and less forgiving than the last. BUILT TO FEEL RIGHT Dark, atmospheric visuals. A rotor that spins up and down with your speed. Haptic feedback on every graze and every crash. One best score, always chasing the last one. - One-finger drag-to-steer controls โ€” no buttons, no gravity to fight - Risk/reward graze scoring with a decaying multiplier - Procedurally placed rocks and pinch corridors โ€” no two runs alike - Four escalating zones, each with its own color and intensity - Sound and haptics, with a settings screen to toggle either - Pause and resume mid-run - Built for quick, one-handed portrait sessions How deep can you fly?
