How to play Heli Rescue

How to play

Heli Rescue puts you in the cockpit of a tiny rescue helicopter threading a twisting canyon. Your engine only knows two settings: climb and dive. Hold your mouse button, your finger, or the Space key and the chopper climbs; let go and gravity pulls it back down. There is no autopilot and there are no brakes — the canyon walls scroll past faster the longer you survive, so your only job is to ride the gap between the cliffs and keep flying. Every meter of distance adds to your score, and the run ends the instant your helicopter clips the canyon ceiling or the canyon floor. It is easy to learn in five seconds and brutally hard to master, because the longer you fly, the faster the world rushes at you.

Controls

Press and hold the left mouse button, a screen tap, or the Space key (Up Arrow works too) to climb. Release to descend. Click the Start Flying button to begin a run, and click Play Again after a crash to restart instantly. The game runs in real time with no pause button, so stay focused from the very first second of every flight.

Tips

Short, quick taps keep you steadier than long holds — think of it as feathering the throttle. Aim for the middle of the gap rather than hugging either wall, because the canyon twists without warning. Look ahead at the next bend instead of staring at your helicopter, and start adjusting early. As speed ramps up, switch to a rhythm of small corrections rather than big panicked moves; overcorrection is the number one cause of crashes.

Scoring

Your score is pure distance: every 10 meters flown earns 1 point, with no cap and no time limit. Your best run is shown in the score bar so you always know the record you are chasing. There are no bonus items to grab — survival is the entire game, and the leaderboard in your head is the only one that matters.
