About the game

Prop Copter is a one-tap climbing game about a tiny yellow helicopter and its hamster pilot. The copter rises by itself and never stops drifting: it is always pushing either left or right, and each tap flips the push to the other side. Every few seconds a red girder stretches across the sky with a single gap, and from both ends of the gap a heavy hammer swings back and forth on a chain. Fly through the gap without clipping the girder, the hammers or the edges of the screen, and the floor counter ticks up.

The twist is the rotor. Each tap spins it up a little, shown on the rotor meter at the bottom. A fast rotor lifts you through the floors much quicker, but it also makes every sideways push stronger, so the copter swings wider and reacts more sharply. Calm tapping keeps the rotor slow and the flight gentle; nervous tapping turns it into a rocket. The gaps narrow and the hammers swing faster the higher you go, and the sky turns from noon to sunset to night. Medals at 10, 25, 50 and 100 floors.
