Based on the ZX Spectrum game "Cyclone" by Costa Panayi and published by Vortex.  You must travel around the archipelago collecting crates whilst avoiding the cyclone.

You can land on the helipads to refuel, but the crates must be taken back to the start base, indicated by the red circle on the map

CONTROLS

  • Arrows up/down - Go up and down
  • C - Change camera view
  • R - Toggle Rope

FAQ

Does it have the original map?  No, this game uses procedural generation for the map, so no two games will have the same map.

any plans to add civilians to be rescued, and aircraft hazards as well?

Certainly people, but I'm not sure about the aircraft since it was pretty much luck whether they hit you.  Unless I give the player some weapons?

I've just add civilians and released a new version.

Sweet, it feels complete now. Always wanted to see a remake of this. Nice job, has a great look and feel, authentic helicopter mechanics as well.

Thanks!
