Read First Before Buy MH Production Helidroid 3D
Helidroid 3D works great (as described). Easy enough for most poeople to enjoy without getting too frustrated (like many other Helo games). You can use either GYRO CONTROL or on-screen JOYSTICK type Control. Both are very sensitive but Smoother and more Forgiving than most other Helicopter apps that I have tried in the past. This one is EASIER to LEARN and CONTROL so it is a definite KEEPER for me!
LIKES:
Very Good 3D Graphics, REALISTIC Movements and Good Physics makes great Helo Flying Fun.
Controls are the BEST I HAVE SEEN for this type of game with your choice of two good methods.
Music and Sound Effects are very nice and can be turned off if you like.
30 Well designed levels have Fun Challenges that get progressively harder.
Good Tutorial and Instructions for every mission level make playing easier and more enjoyabe.
Shooting Missiles at targets is a nice extra but takes practice to learn the right positioning to fire.
Game is somewhat forgiving if your Rotor gets too close to objects (does not persistently crash).
OVERALL:
Exceptional game that let's you have lots Fun instead of Frustrating you like most of this type. You do not need to be an experienced Gamer to master the controls and get Engaged in the game play. If you like the Basic Concept of Flight Simulation, you should like this game. I recommend it.
This is a fun and challenging game. My 5 yo son likes it and so do I. Good game all around.

This app has good graphics and is easy to play if you play this game on a kindle or a phone I would use the setting go with gyro enjoy!!!
BalasHapusGood game graphics are really good it seems like it has some actual meaning to it helicopter has real flight pattern it is really enjoyable it actually feels like I am flying a helicopter in my room on Christmas morning thanks a lot developer you did great
BalasHapusI've had an RC helo game for iPhone but this Android FAOTD is at least as good - and you have missions, not just free flight.
BalasHapusThe graphic detail isn't too impressive but adequate.
You have an excellent tutorial.
You can choose to fly with gyro (I recommend it) or virtual joypad.
The controls are sensitive so easy does it.
A collision with a solid object will destroy the helicopter so be careful.
You can switch to first person camera view if you want to.
Some of the 30 missions for which you receive 1-3 stars, depending on your performance, even let you shoot missiles although this isn't easy - you have to be absolutely flush with the target.
Landing in front of it is an option.
A really well done RC helo sim.
The controls are great...they give you a warning for the tilt controls saying that they are extremely sensitive to remind you throughout the game. Even the virtual joystick works better than expected. I would highly recommend this game even though I am no a big SIM person.
BalasHapusVery well done. Very challenging missions requiring patience and skill. Can't go wrong with this. It will eat up time like crazy!
BalasHapusUPDATED; 7/13/12,
BalasHapusThe developer fixed the game to work with the accelerometers so now it works perfectly on the Kindle Fire! This was done about two weeks before this update and the new version is now on Amazon. So all the old reviews that complain about the game not working correctly no longer apply. Go ahead and try it now and have fun!
ORIGINAL REVIEW;
I contacted the developer and was told at first to just use the game with the joystick function because the Kindle won't work with the game in 'gyro' mode. I wrote back a second time and said that wasn't good enough for a paid game. the final response is 'they are working on the game to try to get it to work with the accelerometers in the Kindle so it will work like it is supposed to. Keep your fingers crossed, and lets hope this Developer comes through. I like flying games and this one does have some potential, if it worked right.....
