You need to tweak the speed - this is completely unplayable on my Macbook with 4GB of RAM and an SSD hard drive. Copter crashes in a second before I can do anyt

  You click and hold the mouse button to gain altitude You release to descend. Sounds like you aren't using the controls correctly. My first time up I just clicked once and my copter fells to a speedy death.

    I realize that, that's what I've been doing. Maybe I'm just slow, and don't like action games.. the only games I've ever really liked are turn-based RPGs, strategy, and adventure.. so I'm probably not the target audience for this anyway.

      I'm having the same problem. When I just tap the enter key, the copter shoots up into the ceiling. Way too quick to control.

  thats strange, its a fixed and low framerate and it isnt maxing any cpu so it shouldnt really get any faster on a faster machine. I have been told between this and pacman that I make the games a little fast, but I do like them on the fast side.

    I think it's a little disconcerting that you basically have to keep the button held down as you start or you crash.

    Is there any technical reason for the 19fps framerate or is it just something you used to balance the speed?
    • daleharvey 16y ago
      Yeh I started it at 30fps and it was nice and smooth, but as it got harder I needed to slow it down, 19fps was the slowest that didnt look terrible, just reminded me to fix up the code so I can speed up fps while slowing down the play, it was running 30fps with no problems or lag.

    For what it's worth, I've tried this in Safari 5 on my Mac, and Chrome on my linux box, and it is indeed the same speed...

  Which browser are you using? The speed is vastly different for me when I play this in Chrome vs FireFox...
