GearCopter Walkthrough

GearCopter is a simple helicopter game that's fun to pick up and play - you'll only have to remember two things while you're playing it. First of all, remember to avoid the huge obstacles you'll come across - this can be easily done with the up and down arrow keys, and since there's only three separate spots to move from on screen, you'll have plenty of time to move out of the way when you see an obstacle coming. Next, the second thing you have to keep in mind is the fact that you want to grab as many gears as you can while your GearCopter is flying.

Each gear you pick up will add to your overall speed, and if you're travelling at a faster speed, your score will increase much faster, too. If you want to get a high score, or at least a bronze medal - which will take about 30,000 points, you'll need to pick up as many gears as you come across, and once you've picked up ten or twenty, you'll really start moving and the game will become more difficult.

Since most gears you'll come across appear immediately before or after an obstacle, it's not always a good idea to pick up every single one. Avoiding obstacles is easy, but picking up gears will make you dart right after them, or right away from them. Your score only increases at a slow rate if you don't have a lot of gears, but it only takes one hit to get a game over -so choose wisely.

GearCopter combines a few elements you'll find in a lot of helicopter games, and it makes them fun, fresh, and almost brand new - see if you can at least get a bronze medal in this helicopter-like game.
