How to play Heli Dash

Heli Dash is a one-button flying challenge. Your helicopter cruises automatically through an endless neon cavern — your only job is altitude. Hold to climb, release to dive, and thread the winding gap between the glowing ceiling and floor as long as you can. Touch either wall and the run ends in sparks. The cavern scrolls faster and its passages narrow the farther you fly, so a calm opening turns into a white-knuckle sprint. Distance is everything: every meter pushes your score higher and your reflexes harder.

Controls

Hold Space to climb and release to dive — that is the entire game. You can also hold the mouse button, or your finger on touchscreens, anywhere on the canvas for the same effect. ▶ Start Game launches a run and ↺ Restart starts over instantly after a crash. Small rapid taps give fine control; long holds are for big climbs only.

Tips & strategy

Fly in the vertical middle of the gap whenever possible — it buys the most reaction time in both directions. Think in gentle pulses, not long holds: the helicopter has momentum, so release slightly before your target altitude and let it settle. Watch the cavern ahead, not the helicopter; your eyes should be a screen ahead, reading upcoming curves. When the gap narrows at high speed, make smaller corrections more often. Never chase a "perfect line" — surviving slightly off-center beats crashing while centered.

Scoring

Your score is your distance in meters, ticking up continuously — only a crash stops it. Your longest flight is saved in your browser as your best distance. No style points, no penalties beyond the crash itself: pure survival, measured in meters.
