deceant
for your first flash game this is really good. i would have enjoyed it more if you could control the ship with the arrow keys instead of the mouse system.

arrow keys? you mean adjust the angle right? That could be a possibility...
a couple of things
Check the code you use for the blue things; it seems like they make it impossible to get through in some areas but that may just have been me being distracted.
Secondly smooth out the movement of those bars. Im not prone to motion sickness but i was getting nausous after just a minute or so.
colintso responds:
thanks for reporting this bug, i'll try and fix this. And about the bar movement, try adjusting the quality, it may just be the rendering that's making the game lag.
I couldnt find any bugs in this,
it was a little unresponsive,but i think that as just my mouse. but still an all round great game
colintso responds:
If the game seems irresponsive, try adjusting the quality.
it's hard!
But fun!
Worse than 'helicopter'. Needs tuning.
First I hit a blue sphere, thinking I had to collect it. 2nd game, I died within seconds, as the physics are different to what I expected. 3rd game, I died at 46k. It had gotten repetitive and ceased to be interesting well beyond that - to be honest, I was just carrying on to see what would happen.
In this game, we rise/fall a lot slower than in most other games of its ilk. Its disconcerting but does distance itself slightly from others and the direction of the arrow works well to show the current velocity.
It kinda means we need to plan our moves a bit further in advance.
The music was a tad repetitive (got repetitive before the song ended) but suited the atmosphere well.
Graphics were decent - 'vector' look suits it. Though maybe keep blue circles off of the yellow blocks.
My main gripe is definitely the difficulty curve - or the lack of one. You need to make the cave thinner, add more circles or do something else to keep upping the challenge and add an algorithm of course, to ensure it's always possible to fly through (although maybe not HUMANLY possible at the upper limit...)
In the end, it's not only unoriginal, but also far worse than the elegant simplicity of the original 'helicopter' game.

Thinking you had to collect it? Please read the instructions...
I'll try to add levels to the game.
