User Rating:iCopter is a clone of the extremely popular Helicopter flash game for the computer. The developer dubbed it as an "easy to pick-up and play, addictive and fun game." And on these promises, it delivers.
It’s not going to immerse you with its jaw-dropping graphics or pitch-perfect sound effects, but does it really need to? When you load up the game, you’re greeted by one welcome screen. Tap
anywhere and you’re in the middle of the game.
The controls are simple. As you tap the screen, your helicopter will stay afloat. You avoid obstacles as the game gets faster and the tunnel gets narrower. When you hit something, it’s game
over. Simple, yet it works.
The colors of the obstacle and the helicopter itself are customizable, which is a nice touch. Actually, the game itself is very well put together. My only grievance is that the novelty does wear thin after a short while, but the quick, reflex game took kept me more entertained than more $1 apps do.
