About Whirlibird

Tear through the skies over clear blue seas in a breezy short-form arcade action game inspired by an old fave of mine.

Rescue the peeps! Collect the crates! We don't know why or what's even in them but hey, they're beeping so they must be good, right? But be sure to check your 6, as ufos, deadly storms and the Reckless Endangerment Display Squad are all out to ruin your day. Well they've got nothing against you personally tbh, but they're kind of careless, reckless or An Actual Force Of Nature so y'know. Videogames!
  • Potentially infuriating control system whether you're using keys or a gamepad!
  • Seriously it's like flying a little RC heli or something
  • Chipper synth-poppy soundtrack
  • Cutesy pixel art nonsense
  • 'Chill' mode for when you just want to bop around in a little chopper

charming and faithful remake of the classic helicopter save-em-up cyclone, with some well-designed quality of life improvements. collect the mystery crates and winch the stranded civilians to safety, while avoiding the deadly storm and other airborne hazards!

The external, remote control perspective of this game brings to mind the old electro-mechanical arcade games of the '60s and early '70s like Midway's 'Whirlybird' or 'Chopper', only this game has vastly more depth and sophistication. Once paired with a suitable gamepad (precise re-mapping of control inputs is currently restricted to the keyboard), the game really comes alive - bearing in mind that, like a real helicopter, the smooth co-ordination of the different controls is key to effective results. A refreshingly enjoyable non-shoot-em-up arcade game and a bargain at the price. A big thumbs up.

Honestly a ton of fun! I really enjoy the graphics and the music. It makes feel a little nostalgic. It's best with a controller in my opinion. Easy to learn and fun to play! Check out my game play of this awesome game! https://youtu.be/ozzOCxJRBQc

Lovely game! Really enjoying it, it's well polished and runs well. It's also very addictive! There's something super satisfying about rescuing the little peoples. If I was to say anything, it's that it's very very short. Only 6 missions! BUT the low price reflects that - it's like a very tasty chocolate bar that leaves you wanting more because it's really nice. I would love to see more missions in the future, of course, just like I'd like a huge crate full of Wispas to eat all day long. I'm glad I picked this up and got to play this, it's a really good lil' game.

Honestly, pretty nice. It's simple enough to be understood by anyone and it's great for casual play. The chopper is fun to fly and there's enough variation between the worlds to keep it interesting, but not too much that the game can't be perfectly mastered if you sit down and just do it. It's a good balance. Cool little game, cool project, good job.

Games like Undertale that remember what you did

Undertale's own listing calls it the RPG where you don't have to destroy anyone. Games like Undertale that keep that idea: permanent choices, fights you can talk past, worlds that notice.

Most games like Slay the Spire copy the cards and lose the map. These keep the risky-or-safe choice, from a three-floor train to a deck made of poker hands.

Planet Coaster DLC: skip the collection, buy the packs

The Planet Coaster DLC catalogue closed in 2019, so there is no curve left to wait out. Our record shows the collection bundle costs far more than assembling the same packs one by one.
