Namco Bandai Games bringing fast-paced platformer Heli-Awesome! to the iPhone this Thursday
Strap in
Japanese developer Namco Bandai Games is releasing a new vertical-scrolling iPhone platform game this Thursday.
In Heli-Awesome!, your aim is to take one of the game's helicopter-equipped characters, navigate obstacles and enemies, and escape from the clutches of the evil Professor Dhoum.
You can collect anti-gravity Fuel Orbs and Piñata Particles to give yourself a speed boost, or unlock power-ups and gain an edge over your foes.
You'll do all of this over multiple environments using various characters - including a robot and a monkey - while unlocking OpenFeint and Game Center achievements.
You control your avatar of choice using either touch controls or the iPhone's accelerometer.
Heli-Awesome! will be available on the App Store from Thursday for everybody's second favourite price: 69p / 99c / €0.79.
