RotorScape

RotorScape is a helicopter action game based on the classics - more specifically Choplifter, which I really like. The gameplay is good, the level length is satisfying, the graphics are nice (especially if compared to the helicopter games of old, and the memories of them I have fresh in my mind) and there are interesting weapons to try out. The game is REALLY challenging though. It could benefit from having checkpoints during the levels instead of going back to the beginning of the rescue process after losing a life. Also, the progress between levels is saved, but only as a way to keep your current game for later playing sessions if you feel like stopping. However, once all your lives are lost, it's game over and back to the first level, old school style. The game really honors its inspirations, in this regard. Having continues or a level select for the ones you have already unlocked could make it more accessible. The one thing I think could really improve is the music. It's OK for the menus and the boss song is awesome, but the level themes lean more on the atmospheric side. They do match the environment, but the action, not so much. A more intense soundtrack to fit all the shoot…

Good Game, remember the Choplifter 3
