Yep, it's yet another highscore-based retro game by Jayenkai!
This game started as a simple plaything with a helicopter, and slowly became a nice little rescue/shooter.
Seemed like a good idea at the time... *shrugs*
Enjoy!!
You can grab My Little Rescue Helicopter for your OUYA, now.
Thanks James! Was talking about how awesome this game looked before I even noticed its a Game of the Week game! Great work, keep it up!
Nice little game. I noticed:
- Compatible with PS3 pad and keyboard combo.
- Didn't show up under "Ouya Games" in Baxy launcher, nor "Android Apps", but only under "all apps", where the icon was the same size as the OUya games. Maybe the app info regarding it is different from most other Ouya games?
- Exiting the app after booting it from the Ouya launcher made the Baxy launcher crash continually.
Can we turn the helicopter to face the left at all?
1. Good to know.
2. Oh yeah, someone mentioned that the other week and I forgot to check into it. Coding at this pace leaves little things like that as background tasks!!! I'll look into it. .. Some day... If I remember....!!
3. *shrugs* wouldn't know where to begin with that kind of problem. Suggested method of fixing, let the Baxy people know how to make it crash, and they might look into it. Sounds like something on their end, rather than mine.
4. No!
Two reasons. First, that would require artskills above and beyond my general abilities!! (Yes, I could just do a "flip the sprite", but given the chopper nicely rotates forward and background, it only makes sense that it would spin around nicely as well.. I'm very fussy about things like that!!)
Second, I'd need to make the controls more complex, otherwise you'd only ever be able to fire downwards (since shooting up currently relies on your being able fly backwards!!)
As easy as that might be with two thumbsticks, I'm also trying to work keyboard controls and touchscreens into the mix, and then it all gets much more complicated!!
great little game. tried it out last night and it was really fun!
You could do it like Choplifter - leave the controls as they are now but let L1-R1 switch direction the helicopter is facing.Quote:

Gonna download it ASAP.
I have to hand it to you, this game is great. I am finding some real gems in your game-a-week lineup.
Thank you
