Think I needed to download again - great news on a new game - this is great fun

Crash 24 reviews as a finished game but this seems to still be the demo version? When might we see the full game available?

This is the full game, there is no memory left to add anything else.  I'm presently working on another Spectrum game.

Working on a new game? That's great to hear. I've enjoyed your games since "rediscovering" the Spectrum some years ago and playing "Higgledy Piggledy"!

Nice little arcade game that is very similar to "Choplifter".  Our German-language review can be found in our recorded livestream starting at 04:53:04. English subtitles are also available. Subscription to our YouTube and Twitch channel is welcome. 🙂

Very good new game. I also added it to my new "Gameplay of New ZX Spectrum games from June 2024" video.

Pretty neat little game. I'd love separate keys for passenger drop and missiles though, I keep dropping the buggers all over the place, bit masochistic. :D

I do believe the great engine here, with that cool scrolling and basic setup, could be used to expand this into a fully fledged "Crash Smash" thing. Maybe add some extra mechanics/objectives, stuff like having to slow down to collect passengers or else they get rammed into the water/killed, different levels/maps, having to refuel the chopper, time limits with a counter to achieve objectives, assorted/random events and/or secondary objectives, etc. Just some ideas. Cheers!

Cool! I love the effect on the water surface!

very good

Good job!

Nice!

Very cool game, thank you. Donate sent, all the best.

Thank for for this little game, here is my tribute to more great work from you.

Barnsley?  LOL

Nice, smooth action and I actually managed to rescue more people than were abducted, in the first half :)


Nice game, Jonathan. Good to see you at a Speccy game again :)
Are you considering to release the source, too?

The scrolling mechanics of the chopper are brilliant and really make this game fun to play. It's so sad when you see a human being beamed up when you have a full helicopter! :D
