Helicopter is a bunch of bullshit

I am speaking of Helecopter in the AGN arcade.

This game is total shit. The hit detection is shit. So many times, I pull an awesome move and totally sneak through the opening but NO, the game just stops and says that I crashed, inanely showing me the two foot gap and acting like it was the site of a horrible collision.

Secondly, the game sometimes gets sick of you doing well, so it just throws a wall at you with no way to get through (because of this insipid hit detection). So basically, once your basic skill is there, it's pure luck if you get a high score depening on if the game throws you a wall or not.

It's bullshit, and I don't like it.

Yea, i played it maybe 800 times over 3 months and got more lucky that i didn't get an impossible wall than pure skill.

I love the competition though, bud 😉
