How it plays
How does Rescue play?
Move the helicopter across the sea, hover over a falling paratrooper so the ladder can collect them, and use the second control to shoot enemy helicopters. A bomb button can attack sharks and submarines below, while touching the water or a falling wreckage can cost a life. Cloud layers create parallax as the mission continues.
Plan your run
What is the best way to play Rescue?
Approach a paratrooper at a controlled height, avoid touching the water, clear enemy helicopters before they force a dangerous rescue, and use the downward bomb when sharks threaten waiting survivors. Keep the helicopter moving between rescues so incoming fire does not align easily.
