Helicopter Games Online: Rescue, Combat and Flying
Updated
Helicopter games online are flying games where you pilot a helicopter: you rescue and deliver, shoot from the cockpit, duel a friend or tap to stay in the air. They play free in the browser, and the controls range from a single tap to a joystick with an altitude slider. Below are the kinds, with controls taken from the games themselves.
| Kind | What you do | Start with |
|---|---|---|
| Rescue and delivery | Fly to people, animals or a marked spot and bring them or the cargo back | Helicopter Rescue Games 3d |
| Combat and shooters | Fire from a helicopter at enemies on the ground | HellCopter Online |
| Two-player duels | Shoot a friend's helicopter out of the sky | Helifight |
| Tap-to-fly arcade | Tap to climb and avoid obstacles for as long as you can | General Helicopter |
Rescue and delivery helicopters
In these games you fly a mission rather than a fight.
- Helicopter Rescue Games 3d has rescue missions such as saving injured people, transporting passengers and handling emergencies in mountains and cities. You steer with an on-screen joystick, set altitude with a slider, switch between 1x and 2x speed and watch the fuel gauge.
- Animal Helicopter Rescue Game has you save animals as the pilot. W or the up arrow moves forward and S or the down arrow moves back. An arrow above the helicopter shows the delivery direction, a dot marks it on the map and another animated arrow waits at the destination.
- Quadcopter FX Simulator swaps the helicopter for a quadcopter and asks you to take pizza items to a marked position on time. WASD moves it, and on-screen buttons give finer control.
- Rescue Helicopter is a casual game where you rescue people, and it plays with a tap.
Habits for rescue flights:
- Follow the arrows. Animal Helicopter Rescue Game points you to the delivery with an arrow and a map dot.
- Watch the fuel. Helicopter Rescue Games 3d has a fuel management system and tells you to monitor the gauge.
- Find the speed button. It switches between 1x and 2x in Helicopter Rescue Games 3d.
Combat helicopters and shooters
In these games you aim and shoot from the helicopter.
- HellCopter Online sends the helicopter down a tower from the roof, with enemies on every floor. You tap and drag, press Space to shoot and R to reload.
- Copter Attack is a 3D shooting game in which you jump into a helicopter, load the machine gun and destroy the criminals who occupy a building. You play with the mouse and follow the in-game introduction.
- Helicopter Assassin has you fly as a special agent and neutralize targets. The money you earn buys new weapons. The mouse aims, the left button shoots and R reloads.
- Helicopter And Tank Battle vehicle wars is a multiplayer war against real players in which you can drive a helicopter, a tank or a car. Friends can enter your helicopter and fly together, and the experience you earn buys vehicles. WASD drives, the mouse looks around and shoots, and Tab opens the menu.
Habits for combat games:
- Find the reload key before the first fight. It is R in HellCopter Online and in Helicopter Assassin.
- Spend what you earn. Helicopter Assassin pays money that buys new weapons, and Helicopter And Tank Battle vehicle wars turns experience into vehicles.
- Check the controls first. HellCopter Online mixes tap-and-drag with keyboard keys, and Helicopter And Tank Battle vehicle wars uses WASD plus the mouse.

Duels and tap-to-fly arcade helicopters
- Helifight puts two tiny pixel helicopters in the sky, one blue and one red, one for you and one for a friend. You hit the other helicopter with rocket fire by collecting the rocket symbols that appear in the air, and the first to land five shots wins. It plays with W or the up arrow key, or with a touch on mobile.
- General Helicopter asks you to get as far as possible without crashing into the rocks. You tap the screen to fly, and the further you go, the more points you earn.
