A challenging, fast-paced retro-style shooter where you pilot a helicopter to rescue hostages and destroy enemy bases.

What players say
Players call this a clear homage to Choplifter and Fort Apocalypse, remixed as a fast twin-stick shooter. It is intentionally difficult and many wish for an easier mode or upgrades. The lack of native controller support is a common complaint, though Steam input can work around it.
