Description
Welcome to a retro-styled, arcade-inspired 2.5D helicopter game! This isn’t a serious flight simulator—instead, it features simplified physics and easy controls for pure, unfiltered fun. The retro vibe isn’t just about the minimalist visuals; it’s about straightforward, enjoyable gameplay. Remember those classic pick-up-and-play games with no complex storylines, just pure gaming joy? If so, you’ll love Rescue Heli RH407! And if you're up for a challenge, you'll enjoy piloting the heli too – retro with a modern twist. Rooted in real physics, but still easy to pick up and play.
PICKING UP PEOPLE IS JUST THE BEGINNING
Once you’ve picked up your passengers, the real challenge begins. You’ll need to navigate carefully and deliver them safely to the heliport. Treat ‘em like people, not produce! Only after successfully landing will your score increase, allowing you to make progress toward your goal.
BEWARE OF OBSTACLES
Test your skills by navigating through increasingly tricky obstacles. With limited fuel, you’ll need to think fast and act even faster to avoid crashing and reach your destination in time!
FLIGHT SAFELY
Air acrobatics might seem fun, but don’t forget your passengers are not strapped in! Too much wild maneuvering could send them flying out of the helicopter. Also, remember that landing softly is just as important as flying—crashing to the ground might not only endanger the passengers but could lead to serious injuries or even death.
SIMPLE RULES, CHALLENGING FUN
Navigate the helicopter with precision.
Search for and collect people who are waiting for transport.
Safely bring them to the heliport.
Avoid reckless flying—passengers aren’t strapped in and could fall out.
Steer clear of hard landings—rough touchdowns can cause concussions and injuries to your passengers.
Be quick and efficient—your fuel is limited!
Puzels included - use designated spots to unlock access to closed areas.
FLIGHT DECK IS YOUR TRUSTY COMPANION
The flight deck consists of five gauges, all of which play a crucial role in the game. While you’ll need to split your focus between navigation and monitoring the gauges, that’s just part of the gameplay!
1st Gauge: Altimeter
This shows how high you can go without losing drift. For nerds only:
The upper number displays the helicopter’s airspeed.
The lower number shows the vertical airspeed.
2nd Gauge: X-RAY Level
This gauge monitors your X-RAY ability, which allows you to see the helicopter's silhouette—as well as people and fuel barrels—through obstacles. Activate it using CTRL (or LB on a gamepad). However, this ability is limited and must be recharged on the ground. Recharging at a heliport is significantly faster.
3rd Gauge: Level Indicator
This gauge helps you navigate when X-RAY is unavailable, especially inside tunnels where your helicopter isn't visible. It may be challenging at first (so don’t hesitate to use X-RAY), but with practice, you’ll become a pro pilot! 😉 For nerds:
The upper number is an altimeter.
4th Guage: Radar
White dots – Heliports
Brown dots – People waiting to be rescued
Red dots – Fuel barrels
The number in the center shows how many people are nearby waiting for rescue.
Since this is a 2.5D game, the radar works as follows:
Your helicopter is always at the center.
Dots above you represent objects at a higher altitude.
Dots to the right indicate objects positioned to your right, and so on.
5th Gauge: Fuel Level Indicator
Your remaining fuel is displayed on-screen, and the helicopter itself turns red when fuel is low—along with the corresponding HUD label. For nerds only:
The number at the top shows the current fuel consumption.
The number at the bottom shows the helicopter's weight.
PUZZLES IN THE GAME + PHYSICS SIMULATION = Retro with a Modern Twist
You'll encounter special buttons that move parts of the environment-essentially opening restricted areas, much like doors in real life.
You can drop people off and pick them up again later. If you do this on a designated spot, doors to an otherwise inaccessible location will open. This mechanic allows you to gather more people - all while managing the pressure of burning fuel. You'll have to act fast and think strategically - a mix of arcade gameplay and puzzles that you’re bound to enjoy! This is what we mean by "retro with a modern twist"
OBSTACLES, SHADOWS, AND SPOTLIGHT!
Watch your altitude—flying too high will cause your helicopter to lose lift and descend rapidly. Be on the lookout for obstacles that might appear out of nowhere—some are hidden in the dark, so keep your spotlight on to spot them in time!
Certain obstacles require you to rely on your helicopter's subtle leaning indications for safe navigation. It might initially feel confusing, but don’t worry—you’ll get the hang of it. If not you, then who else?
LEVELS ARE NOT WHAT THEY SEEM
Don’t get too comfortable with your memory! Although levels might seem similar initially, they can change subtly or dramatically. So even if you think you know where the passengers are, you might be in for a surprise. Always stay alert and adapt!
NO SHOOTING, BUT PLENTY OF ADRENALINE
While this game doesn’t feature any shooting or combat, the tension is real. The abstract environment, crazy perspectives, shifting obstacles, and ever-present shadows create a thrilling atmosphere that will keep you on the edge of your seat.
SPEED RUN GAMEPLAY - INCLUDED!
You can switch to SPEED RUN mode and challenge yourself to beat the best level time. Thanks to this, you can turn the game into a race, competing with friends and challenging each other at any level! DEMO restriction: you can play SPEED RUN mode only on two levels.
MY LITTLE HELP FOR GAMERS ;-)
In case of an out-of-fuel situation - you can PAUSE the game and move to MAIN MENU - you will not ruin your scores. Then you can restart the level without losing points. You can also do this in any other situation ;-)
FULL GAME VERSION, NOT A DEMO
The demo is already quite big – if you want to try it before buying, you definitely should! After all, it’s not a small purchase. ;-)
In TIME TRIAL mode, I especially recommend RESCUE10 and RESCUE2 – tons of fun with friends! The full version will include a LEADERBOARD, so you can compare your scores with players from all over the world!
But if you're drawn to the adventures in this abstract world, the full game has even more fast-paced levels for SPEEDRUN mode, more challenges requiring precise navigation, and new gameplay mechanics constantly being added—like wind effects, helicopter damage, and more hidden/interconnected spaces through portals.
You'll also be able to earn ACHIEVEMENTS to show off to your friends! ;-) Plus, new helicopters will be available for you to unlock using the stars you collect from each level. So don’t just go for the minimum number of rescued people—the more, the better for you! Your stars will be your currency (I hate microtransactions!), which you can exchange for new helicopter models.
Is it worth waiting for the full version? Absolutely!
