A retro-style arcade game with modern flight physics. Rescue cyber-miners, manage fuel, and land carefully. You're not just saving lives - you're fighting for control of the entire base. Was it really a malfunction?

The Plot

As a heli-pilot in an abstract deep-space mining colony, you are thrust into the aftermath of a mysterious catastrophe. With the facility in ruins and the cyber-miners offline, you must first clear the field and rescue the workforce. These are no ordinary survivors—they are specialized cyber-workers with the unique ability to hack into the Supercomputer’s core. Secondary explosions expected in 407 minutes. Move it!

By deploying cyber-miners skills to farm vital CPU, RAM, and HDD resources, you methodically restore the machine's functionality piece by piece. This is a game of strategic control: specific modules of the Supercomputer directly govern the lethal obstacles gridlocking the rescue zone, and hacking them is the only way to clear your path. However, as the system reaches full capacity, a chilling truth emerges: this was no accident. The very entity you are painstakingly rebuilding has turned against you. Now, you must find a way to stop a god-like machine that you’ve just restored to its full, hostile potential.

Key Features

It’s fast-paced, physics-driven, and full of nostalgic vibes inspired by the Commodore C64 era and classic shows like Airwolf. It’s not a serious flight sim, but it features simplified, meaningful physics and pressure-filled rescue missions. And while it may look retro, the 2.5D gameplay brings a modern twist - adding depth and challenge without overcomplicating things. Just when you’re used to the retro side-view, the TOP camera kicks in and throws you into dynamic 3D shots – it’s pure arcade cinema.

• Retro vibes - inspired by Commodore C64 classics like Airwolf, Choplifter, and Fort Apocalypse.
• Rescue under pressure - save the workers while your fuel supply constantly bleeds out.
• Soft landings only - fly with precision; your passengers can fall out or die if you're reckless.
• 2.5D simulation - a focused, accessible alternative to overly complex 3D flight sims.
• Physics that matter - every passenger adds weight, slowing your flight and increasing fuel consumption.
• Escalating challenges - master moving obstacles and tight spaces where every drop of fuel counts.
• Portal mechanics - adds a layer of puzzle-solving and perfect timing to your flight path.
• Trial and error - you won’t clear every level on your first try, but mastering the physics is part of the fun.
