How it feels

A breezy, retro-inspired arcade game that feels relaxing yet can be frustrating due to its control system.

What players say

Players praise it as a charming remake of a classic arcade helicopter rescue game, but note the campaign is very short with only six missions. The price matches the length, and most agree a controller greatly improves the experience, though a few mention the controls take some getting used to.
