iCopter Classic is the free iPhone app of the flash game which players either loved or hated. The game is a simple helicopter flying sim, with you controlling your craft through a never-ending cave filled with chunky floors and ceilings and floating Pong paddles, a feature every cave should have
.
The controls are exceptionally simple. Without any input your helicopter will slowly descend, by touching it, it will rise back up. The time needed to make it rise or fall depends on its speed of ascent or descent, which is where the initial difficulty comes in. The faster it’s going in one direction, the longer it will take to stop and begin going in the desired direction. Once you’ve mastered the controls, the only real challenge is to keep your view on what’s coming up so you can plan your course accordingly.
The newest version of iCopter Classic allows options to speed up or slow down the gameplay which is a nice addition, as well as the ability to change between different helicopter styles and colour schemes. The core graphics though remain faithful in every other way to the flash original, which is to say they’re quite ugly. With single colour pixel blobs for walls and ceilings, and a simple gradient colour background, only the half-decent looking chopper (at least compared to everything around it) saves the game from being perhaps the ugliest game ever.
iCopter Classic has no levels or objectives of any kind, you simply fly as long as you can without dying in a flaming crash. The distance you’ve flown is equated into a points score so you can keep track of your greatest flying feat.
The main problem with iCopter Classic is that there’s no variation of play. Everything is exactly the same 5 minutes into the game as it was at the beginning. The caves don’t get tighter, the blocks don’t speed up or change in any way, it’s just the exact same game from start to finish. The levels do get randomized, but the difficulty is the same each time, and throughout the entire level.
iCopter Classic is the type of game that will send you through 3 distinct emotions as you play it. Overwhelming frustration at first, as you try to learn how to control your helicopter and crash into everything 3 seconds into the level, exuberance as you finally learn how to play and begin making progress, and then boredom as you perfect your play and realize the game is both far too easy at that point, and far too repetitive.
One major annoyance encountered was a pop-up constantly asking me to let the game track my playing location. It will continually harass you until you say yes, even while playing the actual game, which is a terribly poor decision, and entirely unnecessary.
As a free game, it’s hard not to give iCopter Classic at least a small recommendation, as it should give gamers some enjoyment until they’ve mastered it. Go in with realistic expectations of what it is and you may find yourself enjoying it, at least for a short while.
Pros:
Score: 4.5/10
