Copter Cave

One button, one helicopter, one ever-tightening cave — hold to climb, let go to drop, and feather the gaps as long as you can.

How to play

Your helicopter flies forward on its own; you only control lift. Hold to rise and release to fall, threading a wavy cave that narrows and speeds up the longer you survive. Touch the ceiling, the floor, or any jutting block and you crash. Collect green fuel cannisters to fill a small hover reserve you can spend to freeze your height for the tightest gaps, plus coins and a brief shield along the way. Distance is your score.

Origins

Copter Cave is a nod to the one-button cave flyer that spread across the early web — hold to rise, release to fall, and feather a craft through a narrowing cave for as long as your nerve holds. The essence of easy-to-learn, impossible-to-master.
