Rescue Heli RH407 Demo

Welcome to a retro-styled, arcade-inspired 2.5D helicopter game! This isn’t a serious flight simulator—instead, it features simplified physics and easy controls for pure, unfiltered fun. The retro vibe isn’t just about the minimalist visuals; it’s about straightforward, enjoyable gameplay. Remember those classic pick-up-and-play games with no complex storylines, just pure gaming joy? If so, you’ll love Rescue Heli RH407! And if you enjoy a challenge, you’ll also find puzzles to solve along the way—retro with a modern twist.

PICKING UP PEOPLE IS JUST THE BEGINNING

Once you’ve picked up your passengers, the real challenge begins. You’ll need to navigate carefully and deliver them safely to the heliport. Only after successfully landing will your score increase, allowing you to make progress toward your goal.

BEWARE OF OBSTACLES

Test your skills by navigating through increasingly tricky obstacles. With limited fuel, you’ll need to think fast and act even faster to avoid crashing and reach your destination in time!

FLIGHT SAFELY

Air acrobatics might seem fun, but don’t forget your passengers are not strapped in! Too much wild maneuvering could send them flying out of the helicopter. Also, remember that landing softly is just as important as flying—crashing to the ground might not only endanger the passengers but could lead to serious injuries or even death.

SIMPLE RULES, CHALLENGING FUN

• Navigate the helicopter with precision.

• Search for and collect people who are waiting for transport.

• Safely bring them to the heliport.

• Avoid reckless flying—passengers aren’t strapped in and could fall out.

• Steer clear of hard landings—rough touchdowns can cause concussions and injuries to your passengers.

• Be quick and efficient—your fuel is limited!

• Puzzles included - use designated spots to unlock access to closed areas. 

FLIGHT DECK  IS YOUR TRUSTY COMPANION

The flight deck consists of five gauges, all of which play a crucial role in the game. While you’ll need to split your focus between navigation and monitoring the gauges, that’s just part of the gameplay!

1st Gauge: Altimeter

This shows how high you can go without losing drift. For nerds only:

• The upper number displays the helicopter’s airspeed.

• The lower number shows the vertical airspeed.

• Circles indicate the upgrade level of the engine power (visit Garage to do so!).

2rd Gauge: Level Indicator

This gauge helps you navigate in a TOP view mode, no need to use in SIDE view mode. For nerds:

• The upper number is a See Level Altimeter 

• The lower nuber is Above Ground Level (AGL) altimeter

3th Gauge: Total mass 

Your mass increases as you pick up more passengers or take on more fuel. So keep that in mind since you mass affects your movement in the air. The lighter you are, the faster you go! If you are too heavy, simply leave passengers on the ground - you will return to them after a while. Also, consider not taking every passenger at once, maybe two rounds are a better idea?

4th Gauge: Fuel Level Indicator

Your remaining fuel is displayed on-screen, and the helicopter itself turns red when fuel is low - along with the corresponding HUD label. For nerds only:

• The number at the top shows the current fuel consumption.

• The number at the bottom shows the helicopter's weight.

RADAR - yet another Gauge at top, right screen

• White dots – Heliports

• Velvet dots – People waiting to be rescued

• Blue dots – Fuel barrels

• The number in the center shows how many people are nearby waiting for rescue.

Since this is a 2.5D game, the radar works as follows:

• Your helicopter is always at the center.

• Dots above you represent objects at a higher altitude.

• Dots to the right indicate objects positioned to your right, and so on.

PUZZLES IN THE GAME = "Retro with a Modern Twist"

You'll encounter special buttons that move parts of the environment—essentially opening restricted areas, much like doors in real life.

You can drop people off and pick them up again later. If you do this on a designated spot, doors to an otherwise inaccessible location will open. This mechanic allows you to gather more people - all while managing the pressure of burning fuel. You'll have to act fast and think strategically - a mix of arcade gameplay and puzzles that you’re bound to enjoy! This is what we mean by "retro with a modern twist".

NO SHOOTING, BUT PLENTY OF ADRENALINE

While this game doesn’t feature any shooting or combat, the tension is real. The abstract environment, crazy perspectives, shifting obstacles, and ever-present shadows create a thrilling atmosphere that will keep you on the edge of your seat. Need more adrenaline? Check up SPEED RUN gameplay!

SPEED RUN GAMEPLAY - INCLUDED!

You can switch to SPEED RUN mode and challenge yourself to beat the best level time. Thanks to this, you can turn the game into a race, competing with friends and challenging each other at any level! In this mode rescue mission time is not ticking (the main plot stops) so you can repeat your flight many, many times!

MY LITTLE HELP FOR GAMERS ;-)

In case of an out-of-fuel situation, you can PAUSE the game and move to MAIN MENU - you will not ruin your scores. Then you can restart the level without losing points. You can also do this in any other situation ;-)

DEMO VS FULL GAME

The demo includes 9 reach levels (~2-3h of the gamplay) designed to introduce players to the game's world. At the start, you'll learn how to fly the helicopter, avoid reckless stunts, land smoothly, and handle the aircraft when carrying multiple passengers.

You'll also master precise controls by navigating various obstacles - including moving and rather challenging ones. As you progress, you'll start appreciating the exploration aspect of the game’s abstract world, where new levels hide secret areas, tight tunnels, and require pressing buttons to unlock pathways. You can play SPEEDRUN mode but not record your results on Steam Leaderboard table (this in only available in the full verion of the game).

Everything ties into the core mission: rescuing cyber-miners while under the pressure of dwindling fuel. But the challenge isn’t just about "save more and more people" - the full version of the game includes a story about rebuilding a malfunctioned Supercomputer. This links every rescue mission with the core mechanic of gathering resources and rebuilding the Supercomputer. I’ve incorporated city-builder elements to add a strategic layer to the game.

How does it work?

Specific Supercomputer fragments (numbered hexes) are the key to your survival. Capturing them can unlock impassable blocks or slow down that nasty, malfunctioning machinery. But to reclaim control, you need computing power. That’s where your rescued cyber-miners come in! Since they’re robots, you harness their CPU power to manage the Supercomputer's fragments.

The catch? The more fragments you want to control, the more miners you need on your team. So you rescue more, you control more... it’s a gameplay loop that just clicks! So the full version is reach not only in levels (28 in total!) but also in elements of city-builder genre. Not to mention more challenging obstacles:
