About a year ago, we told you about a cool Google Earth game called “Ships”. More recently, we showed you how Ships had been improved to show bow waves.
Now the folks at PlanetInAction are working on a new game called “Helicopters”, and it looks great!
The game isn’t available yet, but they plan to release it during the Google I/O Developers conference in May. However, Paul has provided a handful of screenshots and videos to help whet our appetites.
Here is a screenshot where they are chasing a car using a spotlight in San Francisco, which is one of the missions:
Here is a video of the helicopter in action in Auckland New Zealand:
More recently, Paul has released this video that shows a bit more of the game mechanics:
It looks like this could be a fun game, and we’ll certainly let you know when it’s released.
