Your mission

The callout

A storm came through overnight, and climbers are stranded on ledges all across the range. You fly the rescue helicopter.

Hold anywhere on the screen for lift. While you hold, slide your finger left or right to tilt the rotor and drift that way. Let go and the helicopter keeps its tilt, so level it before you land.

Set it down on a ledge, upright and slow. Watch the speeds at the top: green is safe. A gentle landing is worth the most and tops up your fuel. A hard landing still picks up the climber, for fewer points. Anything else is a crash, and that costs fuel.

The ledges up high are narrow and worth more: up to ×5. Every landing brings a new stretch of the range. When the fuel’s gone, so is the game.

Gently does it.

  • Hold lift
  • Slide while holding: tilt
  • Up or Space lift
  • Left, Right tilt
  • Down level out
  • P pause

Whiteout!

The weather won this time.

Every climb goes better roped in. Let’s talk →
