RECOVERY

(another PICO-8 game from me)

Controls

Z to start. Arrows move the helicopter. Z (held) deploys ropes to save survivors (if any are near enough).

Commentary

Yet another one of those games where I finally have a good idea in the last few hours of the month, but this one came together so well I can't be mad.

I am on a pretty good streak of games that don't involve killing/shooting (a gentle challenge I set myself). This one puts you in the active role of a rescuer - albeit, one who never has to recover dead people, as the real volunteers/coast guard often find themselves doing. In this world everyone is save-able, if you're quick. 

Watch your fuel and do passes around the darkened sea in order to find the eye-catching life rings. Then use your trusty ropes (hold Z) to pull people up.
