great work, I love these seemingly simple, but addictive games...

my only comment would probably be the music... it doesn't quite fit the "classic arcade feel", I would think that an older style MIDI type music score would suit it better.. (maybe ride of the valkyries . :lol: ..such a cliche.. but funny anyway..)

but, it definitely has the old school look and feel.. you should definitely finish it off.... well done.

This is nice! :D
I have done some fixes to that game.
I saw the animations of heli down and heli up and I noticed that you don't use them for anything and did this:

heli - draw actor:
Code: Select all
if (yvelocity < 1 && yvelocity > -1)
{
    ChangeAnimation("Event Actor", "heli", FORWARD);
}

if (yvelocity < -1)
{
    ChangeAnimation("Event Actor", "heliU", FORWARD);
}

if (yvelocity > 1)
{
    ChangeAnimation("Event Actor", "heliD", FORWARD);
}

I added this code to it, and now when helicopter goes down it changes animation to go down and same for going up. :D
And buttons in menu have an error. Look at the upper left corner of them.
You can do this:

Open the files in paint - change the attributes width and height to be 2 more than before. And then place the picture in the middle of the white borders. - Save your file.

Now ge understand white to be the transparent color not you green what it was before. Now the buttons are perfect. :D

You have done great job! :D
