Heli Rescue now available for Android

Oliver — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 11:01:12 +0000

Our recently released iPhone game, Heli Rescue, is now available for Android handsets!

It’s almost identical to the iPhone version. There are fewer sounds and no clouds, but the highscores work (and are shared across both versions). Also, Android 1.6 or better isrequired since we make use the native OpenGL ES bindings.

To quote the Android Market:

If you’ve been looking for a ‘Flight Control’ style game then this is it!

Join the elite team of Search & Rescue helicopter commanders and save lives. Take control of up to 4 helicopters and direct them to people in need of rescue by drawing a path with your finger. You’ll need to manage the flight paths and fuel load.

Heli Rescue update is live

The update to Heli Rescue is now available on the app store. There was a problem with the 1.1 release that was released recently so it was withdrawn. That has now been fixed (and in opposition to some people’s complaints about Apple and the App Store, they approved the bug fix version in under two days).

Here’s a video of it (without the new maps unfortunately):

Heli Rescue for iPhone

A game that I was involved with making called Heli Rescue has just been released on the App Store for iPhones and iPod Touches.

It’s a line drawing game similar to Flight Control and Harbour Master that has you drawing paths for helicopters to pick up people and return them to safety. There are three types of helicopters, three different maps and online highscore table (featuring highscores which are frankly higher than we could manage during testing).

Simple, fun and only 99¢/59p.
