New fun addictive game

Alright everyone I have another one of those addictive games here.

http://www.seethru.co.uk/zine/south_...opter_game.htm

My best score is 2094. I had a screenshot before I formatted, but I lost it now. Let's see how good you guys are.


I found it was also easier/slower on my laptop for some reason, so it was much easier to negotiate the path. Anyway just give it a shot and lets see some scores.

684. That's on my 3rd try. The controls are deceptively realistic, yet simple. I don't really like them, but I'll get used to it.

Ok. This is gonna be the one. I'm breaking 3000.

D'oh! Crashed on the third one.

poertner, you are the Energizer Bunny.

You know, you just keep going and going and going...

Do you guys prefer above the obstacles or below? I myself am a mix of both. I do daredevil drops and steep climbs through the whole thing

It's kinda like asking if the glass is half-empty or half-full

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

I hit 793. Then Boom! Crash! Kablooie! Bye bye copter

Bahahaha. And you thought it was easy to pilot a remote controlled helicopter into someone's head. Something I've always wanted to do to Phantasm66...

Glad you all like it, I think it is a riot. Very addictive.

Vehementi I have found that it is easier to stay above things and drop when needed because you fall faster than you climb. Just my expert opinion Heh, keep it up I want to see someone break 1000, I'll post a screenie of me doing it

I just don't like the idea of "flying a radio-controlled helicopter into somebody's head."

I did on about my 800,000,000th try. 1189. I was shooting for getting one right at my post count!

One of my friends apparently got 1200 on the first try, but I don't believe him.

This is perfectly normal. It is ok to do. Even if you think it is a bad idea, it will be accepted by your peers.

Here you go, this isnt' my best, but is my best since I said I would post one.



It appears that I am too stupid to figure out how to attach a picture (or maybe it was all those beers I drank tonight? )

Anyway if I figure it out I'll attach it later, otherwise just paste that address in your browser to see it.

By the way man, could you make that bmp to a jpeg for our 56kers?[/size]
