Description
I finally finished a game!!!This took me about 2 days, using Flash CS5.
Just move the helicopter with the arrow keys, and don't touch the walls!
The speed will gradually speed up.
As you can see, I suck at graphics, so if you guys want to design a level, go ahead! Just make a horizontal scrolling image, preferably a vector... upload it, and get me a link. I will try to stick it in here.
Fav if you like it!

That said, this game is fun... even if I'm not really good at it
Ho, I just seen it : You're coding on your desktop ?

Hey there!
Yep, on my desktop. I move all the files somewhere else when I finish.
All the errors are caused by the preloader... I couldn't export anything on the first frame, or the preloader would take forever to... preload, so this was the solution. Messy, but most people would never know.

Also, let me restart the game with the keyboard too - switching between the mouse and keyboard takes too much time 
Aside from that, solid construction

Glad you like it!
Yeah, the art was fun.
I agree with the keyboard starting, and Mochi scoreboards sound fun.
I signed up today, so I'll give it a shot, if not in this game, than in future ones.
I have to fix the project... it failes to compile all of a sudden. *sigh*
Hurray for debuggers...
