About

GYRO CHOPPER

Read full description

GYRO CHOPPER is an aerial combat game built around one thing: the weight of the machine in your hands. Your chopper carries real momentum. It doesn't stop on a dime, and it doesn't turn for free โ€” every move is a negotiation with inertia. Learning to read that weight, to carry your speed through a turn instead of fighting it, is what separates a rookie from an ace. CONTROLS Left thumb tilts the chopper. Right thumb fires SLING and pulls LOOP โ€” a two-button layout inspired by the classic Famicom feel. Simple to pick up. The mastery is all in the momentum. DOGFIGHT Out-fly the COM pilots in close-quarters combat. Pull a tight LOOP to swing onto an enemy's tail, line up your guns, and trade paint when you have to. Watch for incoming tracer fire and the massive airships that block your line โ€” the sky is never empty. FOUR PILOTS, FOUR SP ATTACKS Each of the four machines flies differently and unleashes its own signature SP attack. Find the one that matches how you fly. GRAB THE CASH Between the fighting, parachuted money bags drift down from above. Collect as much as you can before the clock runs out. Looks cool, plays like chaos. MODES - STAGE MODE: climb the difficulty and sharpen your skills, stage by stage. - BATTLE MODE: set it up your way โ€” number of rivals, opponents, course, and hazards are all yours to tune. Your progress is saved locally on your device.

Hard, but never unfair. An old-school vertical shoot-em-up: your ship goes up, everything else comes down, and your finger never leaves the glass. Drag to move โ€” the ship fires by itself, there is no fire button. The whole game is dodging and positioning. TEN WORLDS, TEN BOSSES Asteroid field. Ship graveyard. Cyber city. Sea of dunes. Enemy station. Orbital shipyard. Dry dock. Assembly line. Turbine hall. And the heart of the fortress. Every stage brings a new setting, new enemies and new music, and ends with something too big to fit on screen. FIVE WEAPON LEVELS Your gun powers up when you clear a whole formation. And it drops when you get hit: every death costs firepower, not just a life. If you suddenly can't kill anything, check your weapon level before blaming the stage. DYING DOESN'T SEND YOU BACK TO THE START Three lives per run, but stages unlock as you reach them. Fall on stage eight and the next run starts on stage eight โ€” with the firepower that stage expects, not stage one's. WHAT'S WAITING FOR YOU Cannon fodder that comes down in formation and never shoots: it's there so your gun can level up. Gunners that aim where you are, not where they're facing. Tanks that soak up damage and fire slow, fat shells. Kamikazes that don't shoot: they just come straight at you. Turrets that spin on the spot throwing blades. And in every stage, something you cannot destroy: asteroids, scrap, dock plating. You don't shoot those. You dodge them. YOU FEEL IT IN YOUR HAND Every hit, every explosion and every death has its own haptic. With the phone on silent, the game still tells you what's happening. NINETIES SOUND Dirty guitar over a running beat, the way shoot-em-ups sounded back then. And if you already had music playing, the game won't cut it off. NOTHING ELSE No ads. No in-app purchases. No accounts, no sign-up. No internet connection. It collects no data: your high score and unlocked stages live on your iPhone only, and they go with the app if you delete it. In Spanish and English.
