Helicopter Game

Some people love the thought of flight. Flight simulators, remote control airplanes and helicopters are big fun to some. Some of the remote control flight machines are very complicated and intricate and also very expensive. Frankly, this type of recreation requires some skill. But there is this company, Seethru, who has developed a not so complicated helicopter game and it is available online for free.

A simple search of the words helicopter game will yield results for a payload of sites that feature this quirky little helicopter game. The helicopter game is a 2 dimensional side scrolling game that is controlled only with a computer’s mouse. It’s not an intricately designed game, but is somewhat addicting.

In Seethru’s helicopter game, you control the side-scrolling helicopter with the right and left mouse buttons. The helicopter can not hit the top or bottom barriers of the screen, nor the obstacles that it encounters during its forward flight. All you’re really trying to do is progress a greater distance that anyone else on whichever site you’re playing the helicopter game from. But since you don’t know these people, it’s not really about beating their scores, just your own.

It’s probably not advisable to start this game at work, especially if you’ve been caught spending an inordinate amount of time playing free cell in the past. The little blue helicopter isn’t especially advanced graphically speaking, the obstacles and barriers are really nothing but solid green bars on a black background, and the crashing of the helicopter if it does it something isn’t particularly exciting. But still, it’s one of those games that you can’t try just once. You kind of want to keep trying it – over and over. What makes it quirkier yet, is that you don’t really know why you want to keep trying.

If you decide to look up the Seethru’s helicopter game, be sure you’re sitting with your office door shut or everyone’s going to see you trying to get the hang of navigating this little helicopter with two mouse buttons and when expletive language begins spewing from your mouth as your start over for the 26th time, some one’s going to come looking - and it might be your boss.
