Helicopter Rescue Race – Keyboard Party Game for 2–7 Players

In Helicopter Rescue Race every player flies a helicopter with a rescue magnet. People are waiting on a small island in the middle of the screen. Grab them, carry them across to the far edge and score. It takes timing, because the helicopter rises while you hold and sinks when you let go.

How to play Helicopter Rescue Race

Each player flies one helicopter with a single key.
Hold your key to fly forward and rise. Release it to sink.
Go low near the island so your magnet can grab people. You can carry up to 3 at a time.
Fly to the far edge of the screen to drop them off and score.
The first player to rescue 10 people wins the round and earns a heart.

Tips to win

Carrying three people at once is much faster than three separate trips, so wait for a full load when the island is busy.
Release the key to drop toward the island, then tap in short bursts to hold your height.
Watch where rivals are heading. Taking a different route avoids traffic jams over the island.
